Here’s my updated KS3 reading list. The list is now organised by era rather than year group as it was before. I feel this will make it easier for you to edit it to suit your needs. This reading list has been successful in promoting wider reading, and in teaching independent learning skills. There are so many wonderful historical fictions books, history magazines, and academic books out there but I hope I have created a base for you to add all the books and articles you discover. To get you started my suggested reading list includes: lots of My Story books for historical fiction. I found my students enjoyed them and they became a catalyst to read other books or to complete independent research. Magazine articles. Academic books. These are included to stretch and challenge students. YA novels. A few websites. A film.
