DS2 has started Y1 today and has come home with an ORT 7 book. He can read it ok but is simply not interested. He is young for the year, spring birthday, and just wants to play. I am concerned that by being put on advanced books too soon (even though he can read them) he will be put off reading.
Also, ORT 7 books are long, this one is 32 pages, and while his older brother devours books, DS2 does not and might just feel discouraged by the length. What would you do? The context is a private primary, albeit v gentle in a class where he is the second youngest...
