Book Titles

Book Titles helps KS1 children learn how to pick a book of interest from the title. It also asks children to select relevant titles for a specific topic, showing awareness and comprehension on the connection between content and title. This will add to their expanding knowledge of literacy and the English language.

They say you should never judge a book by its cover…but it does help to judge a book by its title. The title of a book can tell you the subject matter, so what it’s about, who it's for and if it’s fact or fiction. See how much you remember about book titles.

The Smelly Turnip is the name of my book but what do you think it's about?
A serious factual book about turnips and how children should eat them.
A book on turnips and how they make the best friends.
A book about snails.

The title again has given us a clue. You can probably tell it's not a serious book as turnips don't smell, well not until you cook them.
