Reading for Pleasure

I have some exciting news children... we have purchased lots of new books for our class book areas. I have listened carefully to some of the ideas suggested by the children at school as to what type of books you would all like to read and added in some of the great British classics also. I hope you enjoy reading our new books! Here is a look at some of our new books!

Reading at Brookfields

Check out our new reading scheme! I am so excited for you to come back to school in September to lots of new books to read! We will be using these books for our guided reading sessions at the end of each day.... all the books are banded, so as readers we know which are appropriate for our age. Check out the book band information sheet below the pictures.
