Book List for UKS2 Set A Spring English Plans
This list includes both required and suggested books for all the Hamilton plans in this age range for this term.
Hamilton Group Readers are available as pdfs to download alongside the plans. They are also available in
hardcopy format from the Hamilton Education website (hamiltoneducation.org.uk) at low cost to facilitate wide
access and to enable more children to hold books in their hands while they learn. The books used in Hamilton
plans are generally widely available in schools, bookshops and libraries. Hamilton has an arrangement with two
booksellers who offer discounts to users buying Hamilton booklist books that are held in stock by these two
sellers. We do not receive any money from either company.

SheelsEducational give a discount on recommended retail prices of 20%, more for larger orders. See their
website www.sheelseducational.co.uk/hamilton-trust to find out more and to experience their highly
personalised service.

Pickabook offer a discount of between 10% and 30% off the RRP. For more information, see
