Year 6 Suggested Reading List

Year 6 Suggested Reading List

This is a list of more challenging reads for those in Year 6. Due to content, the library does not hold books like Love Lessons by Jacqueline Wilson, the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer or The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. However, many of the books stocked in the library are aimed at the upper end of primary school and have a suggested age of 10/11+ due to their content. The Barrington Stoke books, listed, are written for children who find reading a struggle, they have cream pages and an easy to read typeface. Badger books, similarly, are high interest books for reluctant readers. The story content of the Barrington Stoke and Badger books, as listed, is aimed at 10 to 12 year olds.
