New Fiction for Year 2 (Age 6–7)

With careful selection, the power of picture books to promote reading for pleasure among developing and newly independent readers cannot be overestimated. They provide a welcome break from chapter books and focus more on learning to enjoy reading than on learning to read. Conversely, without rigidly levelled texts, they can also offer a significant reading challenge without looking daunting to pupils. Encourage, entertain and engage your year 2 readers with this gorgeous collection of new picture books just for them.
