We encourage all children to read a wide range of materials. Evidence shows that children who read regularly not only do better in school but also are better able to support their emotional wellbeing. Attached is a list of books suitable for Year 5, and we would ask that children use this as a guide to extend their reading. Please use your local libraries, the school library and book corners to obtain the books. Try and plan with your child a time to read. We often find that reading just before bed encourages relaxing and is an aid to improved sleep.
