Y3 READING BOOKLISTS
The following lists are suggestions for Y3 reading books. There are
fiction, non-fiction and poetry lists from a variety of authors. A lot
of these books are stocked in our Junior Library, whilst the others
are widely available. These are not meant to be prescriptive lists;
merely suggestions to help with reading choices for home and school.
I hope you find them beneficial. HAPPY READING!
