DD (Y1) was a bit slow off the mark but is now cantering through the reading levels at school and catching up fast.
Roald Dahl, Secret Seven etc all still a bit advanced for her - I'd be reading more than she would. What is there out there that she could read "alone" (ie. her doing the bulk of the reading, me along side to give minimal assistance).
I've tried the town library and there seems to be something of a gap between the "learning to read" section, which is too basic and the "young readers" which are just beyond her right now.
She is desperate to read something other than the school reading books, that she can 90% manage herself.....
TIA.
