LoveReading4Schools
We are often asked by parents for book recommendations. There are so many wonderful books available for children today that it is sometimes hard to know where to start! Timeless classics like the Railway Children and Charlotte’s Web compete with modern masterpieces like His Dark Materials, River Boy and The Weight of Water. Children are spoilt for choice! We are currently compiling a list of books we believe are well worth reading. The lists will be available on the website, LoveReading4Schools. The website not only provides images, a synopsis and reviews of the books, but also allows parents to download a free opening extract of (most) books.
