Dear Parent/Guardian
English Reading Books
We are keen to ensure that all pupils in years 7, 8 and 9 are engaging with
independent reading, and therefore require them to be equipped with a reading book, every day from Monday 13 September.
Pupils will be given a wide range of opportunities to engage with independent reading and teachers will use this as an opportunity to explore key aspects of language through texts, as well as to provide links with the themes of their English lessons.
Any good quality book is acceptable; we would like to encourage eclectic reading that engages the pupils and develops their linguistic skills.
I have included a list of some suggested books, but this is not comprehensive, and it will be possible to borrow books from the English department, if necessary.
Yours faithfully
Mr Mark Birch Head of English
