We Need Your Suggestions!


Over the Xmas break I am going to be putting together a new Falcons School for Girls 'Free Readers' Reading scheme, Bald Worm's Reading Passport.

Books are a passport to another world, and Bald Worm wants to make sure you're visiting fantastic, imaginative worlds as often as possible!

This is going to be a scheme with a difference - you will have a page in your reading passport for each genre of fiction, and you'll receive a Bald Worm stamp and a certificate in assembly whenever you read three books in any one genre, e.g. when you've read three 'family stories' you'll get a stamp and a certificate!

There will be a special certificate for any girls who manage to read all the books in a genre...and who knows what we'll do if you manage to read all the books in the passport!

You can see some of the books we'll be including in the 'Bald Worm's recommended reads' pages at baldworm.co.uk.

My question is this: Are there any books you think should include in Bald Worm's Reading Passport? Who wrote them? Why should we include them? Click on 'comments' and give me your suggestions, book worms!

Take a look at how the Reading Passport is shaping up at the Falcons School for Girls pupil wiki.

Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick,
Valley of Secrets by Charmian Hussey
both link in very well with our Year 6 topics of Climate Change and Habitats. Much more than that, they capture your imagination and take you into another world.

Good books you should add to your reading lists are ' The London Eye Mystery'(Siobhan Dowd), 'The Declaration'(Gemma Malley)and 'The Edge Chronicles'(Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell). I hope this has a couple of books you could put on your reading lists! REMEMBER KEEP READING!

The boy in the striped pyjamas is very easy to read, but covers a extremely serious topic, It has to be read, I first read it whenI was 7, and have read it a thousand times since then.
The Foreshadowing, and My sword hand is swinging(both by Marcus Sedgwick) are great for older kids.
