Are you confused about which book to read next … look no further … there are lists and lists, and lists for all sorts of preferences here!

Lower Primary School

Books to Read for  5 – 8 Year Olds

The books in this section have been selected for children aged 5 to 8 years (approximately) to read on their own. A number of them are picture books that they will probably be familiar with hence making it easier for them to read and will finish in one sitting, providing satisfaction. The other books are for more confident readers and will require a few reading sessions to complete.
