Books your child should read when preparing for their 4+ Assessments.
/If you are currently preparing your child for their 4+ Assessments, chances are you are doing A LOT of reading. As you should be.
Reading is a very important part of 4+ Assessment success. We read with our students each and every week in our lessons.
Reading doesn’t mean just staring at words on a page. Reading means analysing pictures, answering questions and becoming fully immersed in the story.
Most of our students really look forward to reading with us in our lessons. We do too!
If you are preparing your child for their 4+ Assessments, here are the books that they should be reading.

Read books that spark your child’s interests above all. We want to develop a love for reading that will go way beyond any 4+ Assessment. We are definitely not forcing our children to read … ever!
Children should be delighted to pick up new books and read. Read a variety of genres in preparation for the 4+ Assessment and above all enjoy reading books to your precious little loves. Show them how much you love reading. Children model what they see!
