My daughter is five and keen to become a free reader. She is fluent at a level 5 ORT and almost fluent at level 6. Our library is very well stocked but I don't know what to move her onto. The choice is overwhelming for pre-reader probably 50 different series and thousands of books in this section. We have a few books on the go that we read together (non fiction and things like the BFG where she will take Sophie's part) but I'm looking for recommendations (ideally a series) that bridges the gap between reading schemes (phonics/ORT) and chapter books.
Because of her age she tires with too many words. But she's starting to read quietly by herself and I'm looking for the next thing...
Phonics has really worked for her but she needs to practice more complex decoding and develop confidence. Also some of these books are dull! What's good?
We only have current in print books at our library as they have just replenished their entire stock. So I don't recognise anything! I've tried searching for her age/key stage online and getting nowhere.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!
