Miltoncross Academy Reading Canon
The books in our canon have been chosen to celebrate diversity, challenge discrimination and promote thinking.
Above all, the books are chosen because they are great books which support a love of reading.
During your time at Miltoncross, we challenge you to read all 50 books from the canon, passing an AR Quiz for each text.
For each milestone you reach, you will receive a pin where you can identify others in the school who have also read the books so you can discuss and share thoughts and ideas.
