READINGLISTS JUNIOR SCHOOL

WelcomeThese reading lists are a selection of the titles available in the Junior Library at Dulwich

College and are intended for students’ and parents’ guidance. They aim to include a range

of genres and writing styles to engage, interest and perhaps challenge students to broaden

their reading choices. With over 6000 children’s books published in the UK alone every year it is often difficult to identify quality writing so these lists are an attempt to guide you

towards some of the best available.

The lists should be used with discretion. If you feel the list for your particular age group does

not include titles at an appropriate level for your reading age and ability level you may wish

to select from the list intended for a younger or older year group. However the main aim

of these lists are to encourage an enjoyment of reading and to introduce you to books you

may not have considered reading.

Reading broadens horizons, helps develop written and spoken vocabulary and spelling,aids in the development of empathy, expands one’s thinking and imagination, and may

introduce you to new ideas and worlds. It is one of life’s fundamental skills and pleasures.

We participate in the International School Librarians Network Red Dot Book Award each

year http://www.reddotawards.com/ where students are challenged to read eight books in

their age category and vote for the favourite. They may then compete in the Readers Cup

event and represent Dulwich in an annual quiz, against other Singapore schools, testing

their knowledge of the books.

Our library catalogue http://dcsg.follettdestiny.com/ has an extensive range of

Recommended Reading Lists under Resource Lists>Public Lists where books are categorized

according to genre as well as reading age and level.

You may also wish to make use of our Pinterest page

http://www.pinterest.com/DCSGLibrary/ which presents this information in a visual format

with links to Good Reads reviews.

The library website contains masses of useful links, and can be accessed through the parent

portal, or viahttp://dcsg.fireflycloud.asia/welcome-page
