Hi everyone, I would like to add to the reading list below which I currently have ( I mainly teach Juniors) and I think it would be worthwhile for other teachers to see and contribute to this list. I am often asked by parents what reading material is out there at an appropriate level for their son/daughter. There are many accessible books for secondary school students and many young people have a natural interest in the subject, wishing to read deeper and more extensively than what the curriculum offers. So can I lean on members here and their experience to add to this list by commenting/contributing to this post and perhaps it can be added to the website for teachers to gain access to at a later stage. The key here I believe, is about accessibility and not heavy academic texts/novels, so books that have a good reputation and that suit our target audience.
Many thanks Derek.
