As your child reaches the final level of Key Stage 2, their literacy skills will have become more developed and grown over time since starting their reading journey. At this stage, your child has mastered the basics of reading and comprehension and it becomes essential to maintain these skills that they have learned. That’s precisely why we, at Books2Door, have specially curated a list of primary school books perfectly fit for junior-level readers, recommended by teachers, to help make learning just that little bit easier. Our collection of Key Stage two reading books has been specially hand-picked and recommended by teachers to ensure the perfect books are chosen by our mighty little readers. Featuring some of the most invigorating and adventurous titles, our selection has all the best books that are guaranteed to make your child’s imagination go wild! We’ve got an extensive collection of back-to-school books, featuring some of the most famous and best children’s book authors including J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan and even Jaqueline Wilson and more- a perfect selection fit for all our mighty 10 year-old readers. 

Our selection of Key Stage two reading books has been specially hand-picked and recommended by teachers that are the perfect books for 10-year-olds. Reading widely and often increases your child’s vocabulary because they encounter words that they would rarely hear or use in everyday speech. As a result, your child starts to build on and extend their own bank of vocabulary which will help them as they progress through school. Reading for fun and with a purpose helps to feed your child’s imagination and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds. Our list features some of the boldest and most adventuresome titles that are guaranteed to make your child’s imagination go wild. Lead them on quests of bravery with the Alex Rider Collection, experience twisting tales and terrible frights with the Goosebumps Series, or join the exhilarating seaside adventures with the Mallory Towers Collection- there’s guaranteed to be something for everyone.

Year 6 level literacy aims to bridge the gap between KS2 and KS3 by enabling children to become increasingly independent in their reading and comprehension abilities. At this stage, their vocabulary and language have become more complex and their focus is on developing these skills to identify language, structure and presentation in texts. In Key Stage two reading books, they will be able to spot recurring themes, ask questions about the various books they have read and also summarise the information or plot in a book as they have understood it. A mixture of independent reading and guided reading with a teacher or adult allows for children to advance their inference on a broader level by discussing characters’ feelings through providing evidence. By doing this, children can comprehend the book at their own pace and develop the ability to discuss literary features such as language and plot development, which is a key skill necessary for the transition into secondary education. 

Fan Favourite books for 10-year-olds

Our year 6 children’s books are perfect for readers that want to experience adventurous quests with righteous heroes. Harry Potter is nothing short of a household name with the global success of blockbuster movies. Check out J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Complete Collection Book Set, based on the well-loved book series. A tale of magic and wonder is in store for those that want to join the famous trio, Harry, Ron and Hermione on a wondrous journey at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Meeting new foes, the trio must stick together and help uncover the secrets of the dark Lord Voldemort.

If your child has read Harry Potter, then they should definitely check out the Percy Jackson Collection Books Set by Rick Riordan. For readers that want to learn more about greek mythology, this collection is a perfect starting point for readers aged 10-11. Join Percy Jackson and his best friends Grover, a satyr, and Annabeth, daughter of Athena as they journey across the US to catch a thief who has stolen the most mighty of weapons- Zeus’ infamous lightning bolt. These books are a fun way of getting children to discuss the plot in their own words and talk about the inference and motivations of the characters with these fast-paced, story-driven plots.

Want to read something more spooky and frightening? Our top picks features the Goosebumps: The Classic Series Collection. Those courageous readers that are brave enough to delve into R. L. Stine’s twisting and creepy box set are in for a series of thrills, frights and spooks to keep them on the edge of their seats. This collection features ten tales of slimy monsters, horrifying mummies, malicious garden gnomes and, of course, Slappy- the scariest ventriloquist dummy you’ll ever meet. This is the perfect book for 10-year-olds and fans of the brilliant and classic Goosebumps series. 

Advanced Readers’ Books

For those more advanced readers ready for a real challenge, why not have a look at The Complete Jane Austen Collection? Featuring 6 of her most popular titles, confident readers can start tackling some of the most respected classics in literature. Don’t be alarmed, they’re not as daunting as you think, your child will be a literature classics bookworm in no time! These original classics are slower-paced but provide a fun way to discuss some of the major themes and characters for those independent readers confident enough to delve into them.

Now that your child has mastered the basics of reading and comprehension, their unique reading journey starts to become an exciting experience for children as they explore new genres, meet new characters and delve deeper into heroic and mysterious adventures. No matter their reading ability, children should be encouraged to develop their independent reading skills and gain the confidence they need to thrive during their transition into secondary school.
