If anyone,particulairly teachers has any advice on this i would be really greatful.
My dd is 5 and currently reading band 9 school reading books,she does'nt have a great deal of interest in these so we just do them as a matter of course really,i read to dd alot at home which she loves,we are currently enjoying mr stink and the twits,dd can read these books herself but they are slightly too hard as she struggles with some of the more unfamiliar words and then the enjoyment of the story is lost,hence i read them to her instead.
She has developed some really bad habbits with her school books and will often put in words that arent there and/or be lazy about reading the words and will say things like 'would' instead of 'could' and change the sentence to mean the same but worded differently.
When she did this today with her book i told her that if she continued to do it then there would be no sweets later and of course she read the rest of the book beautifully.
I'm consious that i dont want to turn reading into a negative experience but at the same time i think school books are something that should be done really.
Any ideas? tia
