Reading again ( sorry)

[Wheresmycaffeinedrip]

my dd is in reception. To start with she was really excited about learning to read and was dying to do her books as soon as we got home. These days however is a different story. She is slowly loosing interest in the books and is getting very bored very quickly she is just not finding them interesting at all. She isn't struggling at all with them so that's not the problem. Give or take one or two words she's not really having trouble with them at all and when I can finally get her to read them
Properly she can read them pretty quickly. My question is how do I motivate her to read the books she's being given and do I speak to the teacher about it or just continue reading our books along side and hope that ot clicks that if she just does them then the rest of the day is hers to read or play with what she likes? TIA

Thanks tgger! She's on yellow band whatever that means. Some of them though r just non stories. I appreciate they focus on sounds but some r really lame it has to be said. An older kid can easily tell themselves that it's a means to an end but as she's only five that part just doesn't sink in :)

Well the good news is she has new one the bad news is it's easier than the other two she had over weekend she read it on bus home

Ah, you have my sympathy. Stay strong. DS here just read phonic books and then we jumped over to Green/Orange band books- which is when the stories start to get better IMO. It goes Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange- have a look here if you haven't already www.readingchest.co.uk/book-bands. We don't belong, it's expensive, but gives an idea on the bands.

There's stuff on MN as well including some free e books as well as Oxford Owl e books. Try these www.oxfordowl.co.uk/Library/Index/?AgeGroup=3&BookType=Phonics. Maybe you could tempt your DD with those rather than the school ones if they are frustrating her. I found them very useful, DS likes reading on the computer . We didn't have any ORT books less than stage 5 and from what I've seen of the early ones quite pleased with this!

I know there is probably very little story to discuss , but if you can discuss it with your DD and how certain people may be feeling etc. To move up reading levels children also have to show good comprehension skills.

Once you get past the first few levels the stories do get slightly more interesting

Another thing we did was to get a pack of magnetic words which DS could make up sentences with on the fridge. Think you can also get a pack with the various phonic sounds as well

As far as discussion goes not sure there's much we haven't covered about rabbit collecting rubbish to build a rocket :o she was more interested if the word spring was the same for the metal object as it was for spring chicken :o

any discussion about words is good

Even if it resulted in singing some bloody Easter song u had hoped they had forgotten about ? :o

Maybe not

Thanks tgger for the adresses will look those up and thanks everyone for replying :) here's hoping for a higher level and more interesting stories very soon :)
