I took DD (6) to our local book shop this morning for a treat after a trip to the dentist. She chose a Charlie & Lola book, she already has lots of them and just adores them.
On our way out, we saw one of DD's classmates with her mum. Friend asked DD what she had bought, and they were chatting together. Friend's mum said to me -
'Charlie and Lola? Mine had grown out of that by about 3! Do you think it's because of her special needs?'
Firstly, DD's special needs are to do with a health condition - she doesn't have a learning disability.
Next - DD is actually a brilliant writer. Purely for context, according to her teacher she is reading at a much higher level than expected and we have started chapter books but she does still love her picture books.
But my biggest issue with what she says is - how can you grow out of a book before you can actually read it? It is only really in the past year - year in a half that DD will read them fluently alone and understand it all properly.
Am I missing something??
