Your <strong>Reading</strong>: The iGCSE Years<br />
Everyone knows that reading is good for you. It improves your language<br />
skills, teaches you about the world, helps you understand how other people<br />
live and how they feel about things. Most importantly it can be something<br />
that entertains you and provides you with hours of pleasure all your<br />
life.<br />
Over the next two years, we are going to encourage you to read as much,<br />
and as widely as possible. We are also going to help you develop a variety<br />
of different ways you can respond to a book, that go beyond the simple<br />
book review that you have used in the past. So, we have got together<br />
a list of books that we know have been enjoyed by readers of your age.<br />
The list is not intended to prevent you choosing your own reading, but in<br />
the first instance, we would like you to read at least one of the books<br />
listed in the following pages before you return to school in September.<br />
Many of the books are available in the school library, but others you may<br />
wish to obtain from public libraries and bookshops.<br />
It may be helpful to you, to keep some sort of record of what you have<br />
read, and what you initial reactions were to elements like the characters<br />
and the narrative.
