The list below contains a range of novels and anthologies that your child might enjoy during the holidays. All children need to read both silently and aloud, as well as whatever their age, being read to by an adult. This can lead to valuable discussions and may mean that the child can access books beyond their reading ability. A variety of books has been included to cater for all levels of reading, so that all should find something to their liking. Happy reading! KS
