Wider Reading

At Harris Academy Riverside Sixth Form we believe you cannot overstate the importance of reading around your course content.

 

Wider reading will help you to become an independent learner and become more knowledgeable about your chosen subjects. It will also make you more attractive to universities who are not only looking for good grades but also your ability to articulate your thoughts about your chosen pathway.

 

As part of organising your time, you should allocate at least 30 minutes to sustained silent reading per week. This will help to enhance your study skills and improve your vocabulary, both key skills you will need to succeed in further study and the world of work.

 

We advise that you begin by engaging with at least one of the subject specific reading lists provided here. In addition we would of course be happy to hear about any additional texts you think would be of interest to your peers.
