The 50 books every child should read - News, Books - The Independent

The 50 books every child should read - News, Books - The Independent: "Education Secretary Michael Gove says that children aged 11 should be reading 50 books a year to improve literacy standards.

We asked three of Britain's leading children's authors and two of our in-house book experts to each pick 10 books, suitable for Year 7 students.

The authors chose books that have brought them huge joy, while expressing their outrage at the 'great big contradiction' of Mr Gove's claim to wish to improve literacy while closing libraries across the country."
