DD is in Yr1 and is a capable reader. Her teacher has pulled her out of the class phonics classes to do assessments of her reading and other abilities and give her stretch work. Personally I think she's smart rather than 'gifted' but will leave the teacher to it. Anyway, DD can easily read chapter books like Isadora Moon etc but finds them quite dull. She loves Roald Dahl and has read some (e.g. "The giraffe, the pelly and me") independently, some taking turns with me. I don't know that she would fully 'get' the longer ones on her own and certainly parts would be too scary for her. She is quite a young Yr1, as she's summer-born, and she gets very upset by anything slightly tense or scary. She also loves non-fiction books about nature, evolution and science. All by way of background.
I always try to get her appropriate early reader books from the library as I think it's a good discipline for her to read them to me and talk about the questions afterwards to make sure she fully understands what she reads. We've worked through all the Reading Champion books at the local library up to level 13/14. But we've exhausted those now. Can anyone recommend other books which will help develop her reading skills but would be age-appropriate? I don't want to rush her into longer books but rather focus on understanding nuances etc.
