To ensure Classics and Latin students are reading regularly (in addition to

any other reading books you choose to read) we have devised a Classics
reading list for you to work through. The expectation is that you read FIVE
books from the list every term in no particular order. This means by July
you would have read fifteen titles from the list.

Term 1: September – December

Term 2: January – April
Term 3: April – July

Every book must be signed by a parent or carer on completion and take a

quiz on your book using the Accelerated reading scheme if available.

The Classic reading books are available in our library and must be logged in
and out with the Librarian when you wish to change them. If you have any
questions please see Ms Longman.
