We know how big the step of preparing to start primary school for the first time can feel to some children, and to help preschoolers to prepare for their journey to Reception, we’ve also put together a list of children’s books about starting school. Thanks again for a fantastic workshop this week at our school Walwayne Court. The children loved it and have been drawing their own robots today - during their 'golden time' this afternoon, which shows it had a great impact! We had a celebration assembly this morning with parents and they all commented on how much the children loved the day. Teachers looking to inspire their classes with tales of real-life heroes should try Dr Ranj’s A Superhero Like You or the DK picturebook celebration of Real Superheroes.

We are currently aiming to promote the love of reading, and you contributed to this hugely – thank you!” I know that all the teachers and TAs were very impressed too. You certainly left a lasting impression as all the children keep talking about you and you were definitely mentioned as one of their highlights of the special week! Another recommendation for a gently encouraging hero story is A Superpower Like Mine, by Dr Ranj. The story promotes real ‘superpowers’ like kindness, bravery, creativity and patience. We really enjoyed this empowering and inclusive picturebook about seeing the best in others and yourself. Which superhero stories are best for children in Key Stage 1 (ages 5-7)?A week on and the children are still talking, drawing and writing about the brilliant time they had! We all had a fantastic day thanks to Mike Brownlow. Our superhero booklist for EYFS features the perfect selection of books for your next primary school superhero topic. From fictional stories about relatable superheroes – like the popular favourite Super Daisy – as well as books about the most memorable superhero characters for children including Supertato and Julia Donaldson’s Superworm. Fab session on picture books at #scbwicon with hugely talented @MikeBrownlow1 and Jude Evans @Little TigerUK Thank you!” If you are looking for more picturebooks that young children will love listening to over and over again, our EYFS Storytime Favourites list will help you to build a quality story collection for children aged 3 to 5. Should you be looking to diversify your reading collection with diverse books for Early Years children, we’ve put together an additional special collection of Diverse and Inclusive Books for EYFS,which has been specially curated to help schools and parents to select more diverse books for young children.

I’m flexible and willing to fit in with the school day. I can supply sample timetables if it will help you plan your day.I would like to thank you very much for your visit during our reading week. This was our first visit from an author and illustrator, and the children were enthused and excited by your vibrant books, presentation, and activities. I can also add PowerPoint talks on subjects such as how a simple doodle developed into a book and then an animated TV series, how to create your own characters, and the hidden links between drawing and writing.” The Miles Morales graphic novels featuring a Marvel Spiderman-style superhero in New York are also popular with children aged 9-12. Which other booklists for EYFS are available? Our popular 50 Recommended Read booklists are available for each primary year group, including Best Books for Preschool and Best Books for Reception.
