I have two DDs aged 4 and 5. We live in Rome and for the past year they have been attending a French/Italian/English preschool where all the "lessons" have been taught in those languages. It was based on the Montessori played based learning system, and whilst they have had lots of fun and picked up another couple of languages (to a certain level), they didn't do any structured reading or writing (Italian children don't start formal education and therefore reading and writing until 6, in the main).
They have recently started at the Lycée and have all their lessons in French, and will continue in the French system until they finish school. They have a tutor twice a week to help them with their French reading books, but are still not reading on their own.
I would like to teach them to read and write in English and am looking for some good books to help teach me to teach them how to do it. I am completely new at this, so am trying to get some opinions on here for which books would be a good starting point.
Can anyone post any names of books/authors which you think is a good place to start?
Thanks.
