My DD aged 5 in year1 is on blue level books, she really enjoys school & books. We have a lot if phonics at home and is way ahead with what they send home from school. She is quite a shy girl & I don't imagine she volunteers answers at school. She reads chapter books (short ones with coloured pictures) from the library. In my mind she needs to go up a reading level ( but find it really cringe worthy saying to the teacher - as surely they should know)! My plan was to encourage her with comprehension & expression whilst reading the easier books, but can't really explain to her how. Sounds daft doesn't it as I read up her & change voices etc during the story. Does anyone have any games tips they can share which may help? Have seen the comprehension dice, but really need help with expression, speech marks etc. thanks!
