Ok, so I don't teach Primary. However as a parent of a 9 year old I am always keen to keep up to date with key trends in the Primary curriculum. Moreover us teachers in Secondary Schools can't half learn from the excellent pedagogy going on lower down the age range Recommended Primary Reading Lists (From BIS Jakarta Primary Section)  Please find below links to websites that provide recommended reading lists of high quality books for children by age and other criteria. Clearly, if your child is working well above or below the expected level for their year group they may need to try books from another age range, but for most children in a year group their own age level should be perfect.

Students all have access to our Primary Library and can borrow two books at a time, and many of these books will be available. Parents can also borrow books on behalf of their children, so please enquire at the Primary Library helpdesk if you would like to do so.
