Books for nearly 7 year old

[Trialanderror02]

Want to get some books but she isn’t a good reader ( comprehension is amazing ) but she struggles with actually reading the words. She does enjoy me reading to her longer books at bed time Like Matilda where we read a chapter a night.
So want a mixture of books I can read to her like that but also some simple books to help her with her reading.

Some rabbit and bear text

My dd was similar. It can be a problem because the simpler books that she can read, are too childish in terms of the story line.

Anne Fine: diary of a killer cat
The Tiara Club series
Matilda Webb: the ships kitten

There are some simpler Judy Moody books that we found in the library - designed to encourage struggling readers. I can’t find them online though.

Don’t forget non fiction books which can be a lot less intimidating.

McDonalds often does happy meal books that are very accessible. You can often find them in charity shops. We have Secret Seven ones (based on the short stories rather than novels but each story is a little book) with big print and pictures. There are also some of the famous five short stories reprinted as novels that you can buy. The photo shows the level.
Enid Blyton is worth a good look if you can get to a decent bookshop as she writes for a wide range of reading ability. The noddy books are great for advanced younger readers but likely too babyish for your dd, but some of the story collections might suit.

I often get a “dry throat” when I read at night and ask dd to read a couple of paragraphs while I drink or take a rest. She’s kind enough to help me even though she wouldn’t read aloud by choice.

The Worst witch, the bolds, mr majieka, the worlds worst children/ parents/ teachers all went down well with my 6 year old to read to her.
The oxford series are good to read to herself, their website is good //www.oxfordowl.co.uk it has the ebooks for each level so you can read a few and see where you think she would be before you buy.

The Animal Ark books are lovely and larger print. My DS6 copes well with them.

It’s not a book but I really rate the phonics games SWAP by gamz. They were brilliant for dd but also a very compelling game that better readers enjoy too.

Thank you @Lucked those look like she could read that unaided mostly a bit of a confident boost

I've got my daughter the naughtiest unicorn, the reviews seem good so hopefully they will be a hit.

They have these in The Works as a box set at the moment. I hovered over them for ages for dd and didn't buy them but as a couple of people here have suggested them maybe I'll go back.

I know they are boring and repetitive but it was the Rainbow magic books that helped dd make the leap to reading chapter books and reading on her own. To start with we took it in turns to read a section but suddenly she was whizzing through them on her own.

Magic treehouse books.

Juk3 the Claude books would probably be okay too, they are a similar level.

Both mine really enjoyed audio books at that stage they were ready for a more complex story but struggling with the actual reading. Where we had unabridged ones we got the print book as well, so they could read along.

Paddington's stories, Olga da Polga and spy dogs were favourites. I'm pretty sure we had the worst witch as an audio book too.
