As the weather gets warmer, we anticipate the children spending more time outdoors. This can be a time when reading slumps, but we are encouraging all the children to keep on reading. They could choose to create a reading spot outside in their gardens or on their balconies. To find a cosy spot in the sunshine where they can enjoy the fresh air in a calm and peaceful manner. It is also an ideal way to wind down after a busy day of play and adventures.

With so many new books being released, why not take a walk to your local library to peruse the new titles. Likewise, charity shops are a treasure trove of hidden gems waiting to be picked up for less than £1. As always, our school library is full and ready to entice all book tastes and all classrooms have a wealth of additional books the children can borrow. Maybe this summer you might be inspired to try something new. It is a great time to try a new hobby, sport or maybe a different genre. There are a number of books out there ready to entice you and teach you.

Read a few adventure stories? Why not try a mystery? Stuck on one author? Why not try someone new?

Use this site to help you and your child discover a range of different books.
