Please find below a recommended book list for pupils in Year 5. They can also be found at Year 5: 50 Recommended Reads | The Best Children's Books on BooksForTopics, including information about where they can be purchased. 

Helping children in Year 5 discover a love of reading is most successfully achieved when a wide range of appealing and age-appropriate books are available.  Research on reading for pleasure shows that children who choose to read for enjoyment are more likely to achieve higher academic outcomes, to have improved mental health and to gain economic success later in life. What’s more, when children choose to open a book to read, they are able to discover new worlds beyond their own experiences, to learn about different people and develop critical thinking and crucial empathy skills, as well as advancing their language and vocabulary.

Delph Library has many of these titles available for loan and children can also sign out books from each class library on a weekly basis, so that they can read daily at home. Many thanks for your support with this.
