In Key Stage 2 we have introduced the Author of the Month programme.  We have selected 12 authors whose work we feel children should have the opportunity to enjoy as their love of reading develops alongside their reading independence.  

For one term, each class will focus on a particular author and in our class libraries we have placed a large selection of that author's work for children to choose to read for pleasure.  

The authors are:

Year 3 Focus Authors	Dick King Smith Jill Murphy Jeremy Strong
Year 4 Focus Authors	Anne Fine Tom Palmer Dav Pilkey
Year 5 Focus Authors	Michael Morpurgo Katherine Rundell Jacqueline Wilson
Year 6 Focus Authors	Mallory Blackman Eva Ibbotson CS Lewis Liz Pichon
