Idées de lecture pour les 6èmes et 5èmes
By Paddy Salmon
Reading is the single most important activity your child can do to improve his language and literary skills. Please help us to help the pupils to get the most out of their reading.
These reading lists are based on those established by professional educational librarians. Many of the books are in the SIS libraries - others can be ordered. We would like all pupils to have a copy of the reading list available to help them choose suitable books to further their reading.
