Children who enter Year 7 with English as an additional language are learning all the time by participating in lessons taught in English. Reading books in English will help to extend their knowledge of the language.

The list of Booked Up books includes a picture book for children with lower reading ability or less understanding of the English language, which is especially vital for learners of English as an additional language in order to access the whole school curriculum.
