My DS is very much an average reader when it comes to his own reading, but he loves us reading to him, and is quite discerning. He's got a really good vocabulary and has got very sniffy about picture books, which is making it hard to find stories to read to him. We've done the first three Potters, but I've drawn the line at Goblet of Fire - it's just too scary. We've also enjoyed Luke Lancelot by Giles Andrae, which was a good level for him. We tried some Michael Murpurgo, but although he liked it, the subject matter was too grown up. I'd love some suggestions if anyone has any!!! Oh, he's into dinosaurs, Star Wars, knights...the usual boy stuff! Any good tips anyone?
