We know that many of our students will want to carry on reading while schools are closed. We already have our own list of recommended reads but without access to the school library or public libraries, we have collated some more useful resources to help them keep reading.
We really miss hearing your book chatter in the library so we're asking you to send in your book reviews and recommendations to us so we can see what you've been reading while the school is closed.
Fill in the form below and submit your review (200 words or less). Each week we'll choose the best review and the winner will receive a £20 Amazon voucher (to spend on more books obviously!). It's open to everyone so let's see which year group will submit the most! Go! Book Review Competition Winners |
Not sure which book to read next? Our librarian Ms Martino regularly updates our list of recommended reads with current titles, student recommendations and the most popular loans from our library.
Please use the links below to access Accelerated Reader resources. Use the Bookfinder to search for quizzable books. Read books online from the Read On Library. Once you have finished reading, log in to take your quiz.

The Patron of Reading scheme is a grassroots initiative which over 200 schools in the UK now participate in. Our Patron is our school’s special designated author with whom we have formed a long-term personal attachment in order to increase the profile of reading for pleasure with pupils, parents and staff. They have helped us build on the initiatives already in place to create and positively influence a reading culture within our school.
Here at Elthorne, we are delighted to have Faye Bird as our Patron of Reading. If you would like to find out more about her or Patron of Reading, please contact Faye using her website.
