We live overseas and DD is pretty much bilingual.(English being her first language.) She is almost 6 and is reading level 4 in English. We are following the Biff and chip books. We read with her a couple of times of week, but don't want to put too much pressure on as this is on top of normal school.
She is excited to be reading but finds the books a little dull. Having said I don't want to put pressure on, I'm keen that she gets as far as she can this year. The reason being that in school here they don't really push reading in her second language until the next academic year, and I think it would be helpful to have one language under the belt a bit as it were.
Do you wise mumsnetters have any experiences/ ideas/ resources that I could tap into to help her?
Thank you in advance!
