Why New Books Matter

A new year often brings new goals for reading. Introducing fresh texts into the classroom can re-energise reading routines, reflect a wider range of interests, and give pupils new stories, ideas, and viewpoints to explore.

Each new title added to Giglets helps keep reading relevant, engaging, and accessible for every learner – whether through fiction that sparks imagination, poetry that encourages reflection, or non-fiction that deepens understanding of the world.
