Not sure how to tackle this. My son has just started his lovely primary school and had his first reading book this week. It doesn't have any words in it except the title and what is on the back. DS can read already - we did it as a project during lock down. He can manage books around the "The Owl who was afraid of the Dark" level.
So we've gamely gone through the book and described the scenario as requested, but it seemed a bit of a waste of time. He's read me his library book this week too. They have a scheme to work towards reading certificates. If we don't engage with these books, I presume he won't get one and will be left out. However they aren't adding anything to his reading skills. What's the best way forward?
