# Spooky books to read this Halloween

From seriously spine-tingling stories to tales about the silliest of spooks, Oxford Owl's collection of Halloween reading recommendations is packed full of books to entertain 2–12 year-olds on long, dark Autumn nights.

https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/bookshop/oxford-childrens-fiction/spooky-books-for-children-to-read-this-halloween/

For those children who love Winnie the Witch there are some free e books to be found on the site too - some of which are audio books that the children can enjoy listening to and encountering some lovely 'voice choice' which we always encourage in our RWI sessions in school.

Happy reading everyone!

See you next week :-)
