Year 5 Recommended Reads
Giving your child a choice over what they read is an important factor in boosting their enthusiasm for reading and children are more likely to be interested in books they have selected for themselves.
These age-appropriate reading-for-pleasure recommendations for 9 year-old pupils consist of a variety of fiction and nonfiction books for all ability ranges and interests. Please use the link to explore the list of 50 recommended reads for year 5, which includes a diverse range of books.
Homework
Weekly homework will consist of :-
- Read aloud to an adult x3 times a week for at least 10-15 minutes each time.
- Practice times tables on TTRockstars for at least 10 mins, x3 times a week
- CPG Maths task
- CPG Spelling or Grammar task.
- CPG Reading Task
Homework books need to be brought in on Fridays where completed, self checked homework tasks will be checked. Homework will also be set on Friday's and the pages will be added to our class page every week.
We understand that many of your children will be confident readers and enjoy independent reading without the aid of an adult. However, it is vital that the children continue to be listened to read at home regularly or are read to by an adult. Therefore, part of the children’s homework will involve a parent or carer signing their reading record each week to show that they have read aloud at least 3 times a week for longer than 10 minutes each time. You child is required to have their reading book and reading record in school every day. Reading records are collected and checked on Friday mornings to track your child’s reading.
