Non-fiction fun

Non-fiction can be a brilliant way to engage your child in reading for enjoyment. The huge variety of topics means you’re sure to find something your child is interested in exploring.

What’s more, non-fiction helps children learn new things about the world around them – and it can boost critical thinking skills and memory too. It can also be a great tool for engaging boys with reading, who can sometimes be reluctant to read fiction.
