Recommended Reading List


This list is intended to be a guide to books suitable for children in Year 3.  Some of the texts are more difficult to read than others and care should be taken when choosing those which your child might enjoy. Please discuss the books your child reads with them and remember that although a book might be difficult for your child to read, they will probably still enjoy having it read by an adult.

This is not a definitive list, there are lots of other books by these authors and others that your child may enjoy but this should be useful to generate ideas and discussion.
