Our publication timeline

At School Reading List, we believe in being open about when our content was published. This page provides a transparent, chronological record of our publication history, allowing readers to see when our book recommendations, children’s and YA book reviews, teaching resources, articles and other features first appeared on the website.

Organised by year and publication date, the timeline provides direct links to individual pages, making it easy for teachers, librarians, parents, authors and publishers to explore our archive and check when information was originally published. It’s also a useful way to discover older articles, revisit previous reading lists and see how School Reading List has developed over time.

We believe that clear publication dates are an important part of editorial transparency, helping readers understand the history and context of the information we share.
