Create a whole school approach to literacy/reading with these eye-catching and visual book lists for your primary school or academy. This is a comprehensive set of TEN core subject departmental curriculum linked book lists, that feature topics actually covered on the Key Stage 2 curriculum. This resource is intended to inspire and encourage reading for pleasure for pupils. But also to concrete subject-specific knowledge, technical concepts and vocabulary. Subjects include: Maths, Science, History, Geography, Computing, Art, D+T, Music, PE, and MFL. They are perfect for linking modern children’s literature with the subjects and topics that pupils learn about in school and are hoped will inspire further reading and discussions between students and teachers. All posters are differentiated and are organised by author surname so that all books can be found easily in any library. These fab posters can be printed out and placed around school, or even given out directly to pupils and their families. Other reading for pleasure resources are also available to buy in my shop.

Mental Health Awareness Week is from 13th to the 19th May. Stimulate learning, emphathy and insight about mental health issues with this fiction book recommendations poster. All of the books are appropriate for young teens (Key Stage 3 pupils) and feature a comprehensive collection of diverse and inclusive books that I would recommend to any student. Each book is labelled with a particular mental health condition, which can act as trigger warnings. Make sure you have the books available in your school library and pop up this fab poster around the school to promote to pupils. Books are also differentiated so there are some high level books for those more able students, as well as accessible texts for weaker readers.
