Reading in Year 6
In Year 6, we want you to LOVE reading and read books which you ENJOY reading and WANT to read. We have lots of brilliant books in the classroom and there are also great books within the school which you can borrow.
Remember to record the books that you have read on your personal 'Reading Bookshelf' sheet, recommend books to others that you have really enjoyed and ask an adult to photocopy the spine of the book to add to our 'Reading Pile'.
Parents and carers: we encourage the children to bring books home; even those available in the classroom. We do however ask the children to look after these books and return them once they have finished, as many of them have been bought specifically for the class.

What to read after...
This is a great website to help you find recommended reads. You can put the name of books or authors you really like in the search bar and search for other books that you might like based on what you have already read.
If your favourite author or set of books is on this map, follow the correct 'tube line' for suggestions of other books that you might like.
Author A-Z - Another fabulous resource, focusing on authors perfect for Y5 & Y6. This was made by @Misterbodd and introduces you to authors, some of their books and books by similar authors.
