50 Recommended Reads for Year 6
Promote reading fluency, encourage a wider use of language and vocabulary, stimulate imaginations, introduce big ideas and support a reading culture that ultimately increases access to learning through the wider curriculum with this collection of 50 books for Year 6 selected to meet these needs perfectly. Our 50 Recommended Reads collections offer recently published highlights, class classics, pitch perfect poetry, high-quality reading for pleasure, diverse characters, spot on class reads and engaging non-fiction texts. These collections are for teachers, librarians, and literacy co-ordinators looking for exceptional classroom libraries, the best books for the school reading spine, or a strong foundation for the school library.
If only 50 books are in the book corner – what should they be? What should I choose?
Teachers are asked to curate their classroom library or book-led curriculum to give pupils the best chance of reading quality books that in turn give children the spark they need to want to read for pleasure and the reading miles needed to practise reading with fluency. It can be hard to whittle down to 50 worthy books like the Reading Framework 2023 requires.
Keep Year 6 pupils hooked on books and pick the perfect capsule library for this age group effortlessly with help from our expert team and our new range of 50 Recommended Reads book packs.
Selected by our team of experienced book experts, who collectively have over 25 years’ experience of choosing books for schools, classrooms and libraries, our first ‘50 Recommended Reads’ contains a variety of book types and genres; award-winners and tested favourites; highlights from the most recently published; all-time must-read classics; engaging non-fiction books; poetry and graphic novels. From rich lyrical writing to fun page-turners, these mostly longer reads for older readers, will be a great foundation on which to build. Great emphasis has been placed upon choosing 50 books that are inclusive and diverse, through which children can meet characters like themselves or whom reflect wider society.
Children of this age should still be read to daily – this pack has many outstanding books that merit being read aloud to a Year 6 class.
