Euka English Novels by Grade & Term

The Euka English lessons will include a novel as part of the English curriculum.

These novels are selected to support the themes, skills and learning outcomes covered in each term.

Where can I find these novels?

Most of the novels can usually be sourced through your local library. Some libraries also offer digital borrowing platforms such as eBook or audiobook apps.

With the internet being such a great resource, many families do a quick google/YouTube search, providing the author and book title, which often provides a free digital copy of the novel. Some families also opt for purchasing either a physical or digital copy.

Below, you’ll find the novels listed in the Euka program by grade and term.

Please note: The novels listed below apply to our current/new learning experience. If you are using our previous learning experience, please refer to your Parent Planner to find the novels required for your child's studies.
