Book List for Year 1Set AAutumn English Plans

This list includes both required and suggested books for all the Hamilton plans in this age range for this term.

Hamilton Group Readers are available as pdfs to download alongside the plans. They are also available in hardcopy format from the Hamilton Education website (hamiltoneducation.org.uk) at low cost to facilitate wide access and to enable more children to hold books in their hands while they learn. The books used in Hamilton plans are generally widely available in schools, bookshops and libraries.

We do not receive any money from either company.
