At DHLNW, reading is central to developing strong literacy skills and fostering a love for learning. This term, students from Years 7 to 11 will be reading a diverse selection of books designed to broaden their horizons, enhance critical thinking, and stimulate their imaginations. Reading helps expand vocabulary, improves comprehension, and strengthens writing skills—essential tools for academic success and personal growth.
Here’s what each year group will be reading this term:
Year 7 – A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
Year 8 – Thief by Malorie Blackman
Year 9 – Antidote by Malorie Blackman
Year 10 – Hacker by Malorie Blackman
Year 11 – The Majestic Quran translated by Dr. Musharraf Hussain
We encourage all students to engage deeply with these texts, as reading is more than an academic task—it’s a gateway to understanding the world, building empathy, and sparking creativity. Enjoy your reading journey this term, and we look forward to discussing these fantastic books in class!
