Challenging Key Stage 2 Readers - Part 1: Fiction
My article for the Spring 2023 edition of NATE Primary Matters magazine discusses the importance of books that challenge children’s language, intellect and emotions; books that not only entertain, but also broaden experience, stimulate imagination, develop empathy, challenge stereotypes and help their readers to grow as individuals.
The piece contains numerous recommendations of brilliant fiction for 7-11 year olds, including many books already reviewed on this blog. It also suggests some inspirational support books for Primary teachers.
