No, not the 1970s throw books at them and see what sticks idea.
My DC is well away with this reading gig, but it is really hard work to encourage the reading of anything other than reading scheme books. Which is fine, but we're running out, and there is only so much Magic Key I can take (he's only in reception!) If it doesn't have a book band, it can't be read, according to DC.
Tonight, he read (genuinely read, not one he knows very well at all to be a recitation) Room on the Broom, as our library has this in a format that matched the 'read it yourself' books, and therefore looks like a reading scheme. (Cunning!) So... how can I get hold of more 'real' books in this format? I'd love to branch out, but anything that doesn't look like it could have a bookband, is quickly given up on, although well within DC's ability.
Does anyone know of a publisher who does books in this format, that aren't reading scheme?
