Reading
For all the resources available online, nothing will help your child improve more than reading. This can't be stressed enough and it is important that your child reads as often as possible and sees it as a treat and not a chore.
Although many people favour owning physical books, this is not always possible and so the internet opens up a whole world of access to material online.
Please remember that reading is not just experienced through books. Magazines, newspapers, comics and audio books all play a huge part in the development of children.
World Book Day Reading Lists - This is a set of suggested books, organised into different categories and ages. This will give you some great ideas of new books for your child to read from picture books to 12+.
*For parents/carers of older, very capable readers, many 12+ are not necessarily inappropriate in terms of content but often in theme, meaning it may be pitched as very scary or deals with issues that are often dealt with by older children. If you feel your child needs stretching in their reading, use reviews, such as those on Goodreads, to gauge the content of the book - or better still, read the book yourself first and decide.
Carnegie and Greenaway Medal shortlists - These have now been released and as always, there are some brilliant books there - well worth checking out.
UKLA Book Awards - This year’s UKLA Book Awards shortlists have been announced, judged by teachers. To find out which books made the shortlists, click here.
Amazon Kindle - Amazon's Kindle offers every book imaginable, ready to read on a Kindle product or through their various reader apps for iOS or Android.
There are many other providers of reading material online but always monitor any online purchases.
