DD5 is coming up to the end of reception now.
She's an able reader - on green books (ORT level 5 although she did bring home a level 7 turquoise book recently, I assume it was a mistake but she could read that fine too) and was given exceeding on her report for reading. Sorry, I know this sounds like a stealth boast but just wanting to show that she can read well.
We read her school books that she gets 3 times a week and I read to her every night. She reads things in her environment but is yet to pick up a book and start reading to herself, whether aloud or silently.
What age do children start doing this? Should I be encouraging her or just wait until she naturally starts herself?
