My 6yo DD, (7 in April) reads in bed each night. In January she read The Twits, Georges Marvellous Medicine and two chapter books featuring a girl called Molly who talks to the animals and is now enjoying The Magic Finger. I am thrilled with her enthusiasm for and ability to read, not least because I am dyslexic and never had the joy in reading that she clearly has.
Due to my being a bit pants at reading as a child (and now really!) I read very little. A few of my friends read the Malory Towers series as children, but I did not. Do you think she is a bit young for this? Plus, I did read a few famous five books as a child and remember the stereotyping of girls to be poor. Is Malory Towers the same? With so much great literature out there I would prefer to get her books with positive role models in them.
I will be getting the rest of the Roald Dahl collection, but wondered if you lot could give me any advice on MT or other recommendations?!
TIA
