My children still love me to read a chapter or two every might from a book before they go to their separate rooms and read their own books. They particularly love series but am starting to struggle to choose appropriate ones.
Critiera is: wholesome and somewhat challenging in terms of vocabulary (books they wouldn’t really read themselves), either a series of standalone book, probably a classic, we have had less luck with more modern books which they prefer to read themselves.
Over the years we have read the following: Little House on the Prairie. Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, Mallory Towers, the Worst Witch, Harry Potter, the Magic Faraway Tree, Tom’s Midnight Garden, the Secret Garden, Lord of the Rings.
Any suggestions gratefully received!
