Hello,

I'm doing a course about writing childrens books and need to do some research into what children are reading at the mo.

Are you children reading chapter books, early readers or perhaps they love activity books, or still prefer picture books?

Mucho appreciated if you could let me know.

Thanks.

7yo ds has just discovered Michael Morpurgo.

When he's not reading MM, he's reading the Where's Wally? books, the Puzzle books, or Beano.

just turned 6 year old boy isn't reading much himself other than books from school, but his choice of book to be read to him is pretty much all factual books/children's encyclopedia type things with lots of pictures and info about dinosaurs/diggers/rescue vehicles/the human body

My 9yo still prefers pictures books (I'm told his English attainment is above avg).
The 6yo is on early readers & what I read to him.
