The Golden 100 is a list of books that we would like all children to have read, listened to or shared with others before they leave Year 6. There are 25 books for each phase that have been carefully nominated and selected by members of staff across the Trust and include a diverse range of characters, themes and genres – we are confident there is something for everyone!
As children finish a book from the list, they should record the title in their reading record book and tick it off in their ‘Golden 100’ booklets.
Children can earn certificates for completing all titles in their phase as well as completing the entire list of 100 books.
Some of the Golden 100 books will be on Accelerated Reader and for those titles, children will be able to complete an AR quiz. We are aware that some of these books will be outside of your child’s ZPD but this should not stop them from experiencing them. They will still be able to complete the quizzes.
