Authors suitable for year 6. I have put together a list of authors that are appropriate and that will help the children progress with both reading and writing.
You will notice that this is not an exhaustive list, but is intended as a starting point. Any books not on list are still suitable because the more children read the better. If your child has a favourite author already, do not stop them reading these. It would be good; however, if some of these authors are also slotted into their reading diet alongside current favourites.
I have included some titles but there are many others.
