Reading suggestions: Infants and Juniors

Infants and Juniors Book of the Week

Reading suggestions

The best way for to find a good book is to browse the Library and ask your teachers, friends and Mrs Festivo for suggestions! You could also have a look at some of our recommended Books of the Week in the school newsletter.

If you find a book that you really want to read that isn't in the Library, have a chat with Mrs Festivo and she might be able to get a  copy for you.

For more ideas, particularly in school holidays, you or your parents might find book recommendation websites helpful. Why not try...

Love Reading 4 Schools logo or 

Love Reading 4 Schools/ Love Reading 4 Kids allow you to browse, search and filter book reviews for a wide range of ages, genres and collections, and also have competitions, author videos and activities in an engaging Kids Zone (on the 4 Kids site). 

Reading Zone

Reading Zone has an email newsletter, age related book recommendations and reviews, activities, author videos and more. Choose children, teenagers or young adult at the top of the page and click on 'See all books' to filter by age and category. 

The School Reading List logo

On The School Reading List book reviews can be filtered by theme, genre, subject and age and the site includes a podcast series. 

Booktrust bookfinder logo

The Booktrust bookfinder is a much simpler (and very child friendly) tool that asks two questions then produces a list of recommendations. 

  

If you have certain books or authors that you have already enjoyed and want some recommendations based on those, you could try Booktrust's What to Read After tool or, if you can't find their favourite books on this then try What Should I Read Next - but be aware that this is not a site aimed specifically at children so some of the results may not be age appropriate.
