Hello
Thinking about summer reading for DSD who's 11. . .
She doesn't like reading, and has always struggled with it. A couple of years ago she got into the famous five, which was great, but since her younger sister has started reading them too she says they're babyish and refuses to read them any more. Same with horrible histories.
I've tried everything I can think of: we go to the library and they choose books, we save up and go to the bookshop. She will sit looking at the same page for ages, and then just put the book down.
I think the key problem now is that her younger sister (who is an avid reader) reads much more complex books than her, and she wants to read books which are more 'grown up' but they need to be accessible!
Help - any suggestions?
