DD is 10 and in year 6. The reading scheme books have been a bone of contention since year 3. She absolutely loathes them. We struggled through years 3/4/5 with a combination of bribery, blackmail, threats etc. Now she refuses to read them at all. We've confiscated her laptop, IPOD and DS until she reads her book this week and it's caused so much stress.
The trouble is, I can kind of see her point, not that we've ever said so in front of her. She is 10 and her reading age is 15 point something per the school. She reads every night and loves her books. The book scheme books are utterly ridiculous and babyish and any competent 8 year old could read them.
We've talked to the school about this without any effect. She's absolutely resolute this time.
Where do I go from here?
