Dd1 is 5 and a voracious reader. She really wants some 'hard' chapter books.
We have just finished reading her the Faraway Tree books, we initially read them to her then she read them (usually after bedtime with her torch!). She didn't manage all the words but most of them.
Can you recommend any other books that might be suitable in terms of content for an advanced reader but young 5 year old.
We have read her all the Sophie books and most Roald Dahls. What should we try next?
Also while I'm asking, best get a bit of advice. I don't want to hang over her shoulder while reading but if she is reading words wrong I'm worried we won't pick up on it. Plus, she tends not to enquire about words she doesn't understand, just carries on reading. Do we just need to keep getting her to read out loud?
