Non-fiction for primary schools

Whether supporting a curriculum topic, or designed as a leisure read, non-fiction texts are always a great way to engage and motivate children who may not yet have found their love of reading – useful both for allowing pupils to explore their existing interests, and encouraging them to develop new ones.
Non-fiction also:
- Exposes pupils to new words, helping them develop a broad and rich vocabulary
- Develops the critical thinking skills essential to recognising ‘fake news’
- Helps children to navigate the diverse world we live in and the issues they may encounter as they prepare for the transition to secondary school.
If you have a specific theme or topic you'd like recommendations for, get in touch by emailing us at hello@peters.co.uk or call 0121 666 6646.
