Hi everyone,
I have a daughter who will be 9 in April, she was placed on the Gifted and Talented Register in Reception because of her reading, writing and Maths.
Unfortunately as a result of my son's death in 2014 we had to change her schools because of where we lived, the school she is at now do not have a Gifted and Talented Register and are one of the laziest schools I have met.
At all parents evenings previously we were told what an amazing student she is, how she is so far ahead of the rest of the class and she is getting bored. It is resulting in her trying to help other children because she has completed all of her own work and is not getting any further work.
This is far from a post for me to brag or comment on my daughter's achievements, it is more of a plea!
We recently took her to Kip McGrath to have her assessed and see if any extra tuition will keep her motivated and bring her education up to the level she is already working at. She was assessed to be working at Year 9 level (she is in Year 4) for Reading, Writing and Comprehension and end of Year 5 for her Maths (we knew her Maths had suffered more than her English since changing schools). She is extremely eager to get started at Kip McGrath, however, I am looking for some help with reading books. She is very mature (following her brothers hospital stay and death she has grown up a lot) but is still very innocent with regards boys etc. I am looking for some suggestions of reading books suitable for a 9 Year old (topic wise) but difficult enough for a 14 year old.
Please help!! (She reads an average 150-200 page book in 2 days so I would be extremely grateful for plenty of suggestions!)
Thank you in advance.
