Have a look at some of our favourite hand picked children's books to get you ready for this school year!
Usually, our blogs are full of high-quality books that will both inspire and engage teachers and their pupils. Although this blog’s main content is the reading framework, it is just as important and essential to us all.
When children explore stories from all around the world, they get to see how big, diverse, and beautiful it is. Reading a variety of books makes them feel like they belong, and that they are a part of this vast world - no matter their background. Diversity books can act as a key to unlocking the idea that everyone is different and that is what makes the world so special.
Below are ten wonderful books picked by our expert team with decades of experience in young children’s books.
We are all huge fans of fairytales, whether that be the classic stories we know and love, or discovering new retellings and twisted takes on the originals. Not only are they great fun, engaging in the classroom and familiar to us, but they can also increase your children’s reading ability!
On 6th May 2023, we will be celebrating King Charles III Coronation. To commererate this special occasion, there are a number of wonderful books that have been printed, with titles suitable for EYFS up to KS2.
There have been a range of teacher resources and activities created too, to help schools honour this significant event, and we have pulled together some of them to help inspire you, guide your lessons or help shape your celebrations in school.
On Wednesday 8th March we celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). The theme for 2023 is to Embrace Equity, and the aim is to get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough on their own, because not everybody starts from an equal place. IWD raises awareness for this theme and celebrates success stories and achievements made by women from around the world. However, as teachers, we also have a duty to teach all our pupils about strong female role models. Here are some amazing books that will enable you to do exactly that and some teaching resources to use immediately too.
