3rds Reading List (Christmas 2007)

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
