Recently I have been asked by a HUGE number\u00a0parents, teachers and pupils about how to go about finding the right book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Obviously\u00a0 asking me is always the best option but for those days when I am working elsewhere or those things called weekends and holidays who can you turn to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no magic wand but there are web sites that can help!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pick more than one book or even create a reading list online<\/p>\n

Don’t like it – don’t keep reading – plenty more books out there<\/p>\n

Five finger rule – find five words on the first page you don’t understand – perhaps the book is too hard.. for now<\/p>\n

We don’t have it and you want to read it? Tell me and then tell me again and keep telling me till I buy it!<\/p>\n

Librarian recommendation are ALWAYS the best,<\/p>\n
