DS1 is 7.1. He is a good reader (ORT Level 11/12) and does enjoy reading, but I am struggling to find books that he can read to himself that are interesting (to him!) and pitched at the right level.
We read to him a lot. We've done Beast Quest, Roald Dahl, David Walliams.
When he reads to himself (mainly at bedtime) it tends to be books for younger children (Mr Men, Dr Suess) or character encyclopedia type books (Ninjago, Pokemon, Star Wars etc).
So do you have any recommendations for books for 7 yr old boys that aren't too daunting? He's gone to bed tonight with The Wonderful World of Tom Gates (the first book of this type that he's tackled by himself), so will see how he gets on with that...
Thanks!
