My DD in YR has now started reading the Magic Key books. Joy oh joy , although I don't mind really as kids seem to enjoy them and they're good practice around the level she's at (green/orange band). However...here comes the oops...
About 2 years ago when DS was reading them, we read quite a few to her as she liked the stories. Some of them I think we read to her quite a few times. So, now we have a problem, in that I can't tell if she's reading the story pretty fluently (maybe one word or two in whole book she has to stop over), because she is reading it, or if she's remembering it. Does it matter? Well I think it does because I want to know how well she is really reading, not remembering- she has a fantastic memory and knows lots of stories off by heart, although I don't think these as we haven't done them THAT much .
Ah well, I don't want to buy any more reading books, I guess I will have to visit the library and try her on others as well as these. I've just been surprised in a nice way at how easily she can read them (not a stealth boast, promise).
