ABOUT FIDDLESTICKS BOOK Reccomendations

Here I am sharing my book reccomendations, those books that have earnt a permament place in my library, our heart and home education. I will be working through these and adding reviews, lesson plans and resources but naturally this will take time. In the mean time you can browse through my reccomendations and look up synopsises and reviews online. Books that have matching lesson ideas in my blog will be clickable to take you there.

Below I have sorted my books into three categories: picture books, read alouds (books I read to children under 12 or they would read themselves) and teen books for children 13+, I have then categorised them by main subject - obviously a lot of this is subjective and relevant to how I intend to incorporate these books into our education.

I'm slowly adding all my book recommendations from my own library to my website this is slow progress so check back often!

Diverse Book suggestions

I have recently been asked to share many of my book recommendations by the diversity they depict - I've not done this before as it feels some what counter productive to sit here and sort each book into a pile by a label for the person depicted - but understand that it can be helpful to you if you realise that your book collection is lacking diversity in some areas (mine is not perfect and there are some areas I find it very hard to find quality books to represent). All these books are also found in the relevant subject and topic pages.

CURATED LISTS & Curriculum

You can find complied book lists from my recommendations above in curriculum with activities and guides by visiting the curriculum page in the menu
