Spread the joy of curling up with a good book this Christmas!
We are happy to direct you to the very excellent website of Children’s Books Ireland which is unbeatable in terms of book recommendations and resources. You can find it here.
Lists of the best books of 2024 for children are also to be found on the websites of many national and international media. Here are a few examples:
Motivation is key so choosing a book at the just right level is important. The Five Finger Rule is a useful tool for determining if a book is at a suitable level for your child to enjoy. See here or here for a quick guide.
Barrington Stoke books are highly regarded as a dyslexia friendly choice.
Information on paired reading between parent and child – which might be better during term time – can be found by Googling “paired reading NEPS.”
Happy reading to all!
