Book List for Reception Plans Spring

Book List for Reception Plans – Spring

This list includes required and suggested books for all the plans in reception for Spring. It is worth checking which books are essential for the plan(s) you are teaching. If you are not teaching all the plans you will not need to obtain all these books (purchase or borrow from your local library), so please check against your chosen plans which books are essential.

Any book listed as ‘out of stock’ or ‘out of print’ may be available to purchase at www.amazon.co.uk or may be available through your local library. We have arranged a deal with KBC (Kent Book Company) for Hamilton users to get a 20% off RRP on all books required for our Literacy Units that they have in stock. We have no commercial arrangement with KBC but we hope this will be an alternative and useful way for you to obtain the necessary texts for our Literacy Units.
