Recommended reads for returning pupils

June 6th 2020

With children in some year groups returning to school in June, reading is likely to be a key focus for many schools, and experts have argued it should be made top priority over the coming weeks.

With time split between the classroom and home learning, reading is something that can be carried on and used to reinforce lessons through reading at home.
