DD is y1, just at the end of ORT3. So not a particularly advanced reader.
She has been completely unmotivated with the whole reading thing (despite loving telling stories and being read them) and just recently I've been reading her Pippi Longstocking, which has really grabbed her interest and hence motivated her to actually read - having battled to make her do her weekly dose of Biff and Chip (which she manages fine but has no enthusiasm for) I have suddenly found her sitting down for ages trying to puzzle out Pippi Longstocking, which is fine, but of course it is way too advanced for her so progress is painfully slow.
So does anyone know of anything in the same mould, but much much easier - either very simple chapter books or else a series of picture books with (I'm guessing this is the key....) a cool heroine she can identify with?
thanks!
