Hi all, I would like to get my 5 year old some independent reading books.
His older siblings read in bed each night and he has started doing this too. So they need to be books he can easily read on his own. To give an idea of reading level, these are what he currently has next to his bed:
- some of the easier Dr Seuss books (hop on pop, mr brown can moo, cat in the hat, etc)
- a set of Claude the dog books
we have a lot of picture books in the house but I’m looking for smaller format books he can hold easily which are designed for young readers. Often he gets stuck on a word in a Julia Donaldson book for example.
Series like the 13 story treehouse, captain underpants, dog man etc are too difficult for him at the moment.
He is going through a Mario / Minecraft phase at the moment so bonus points for any recommendations by those brands.
many thanks!
