can you recommend some early readers for my dd?

[Slouchy]

She is in reception, making good progress with the reading scheme, but the books they send home (Heinemann) are so farking boring for us both! And she remembers what she read, so once we have read it twice she just parrots it.

She knows all of the 1st 50 high frequency words but is not ready for dr Suess types yet.

I was thinking of getting some different early readers to practice with her at home, to flavour the mix a bit.

TIA for suggestions.

We've enjoyed the ORT Songbirds phonics early readers which havd 6 books in each stage with stories by Julia Donald? or whoever it was that wrote "The Gruffalo".

DS has made good progress with them as they really reinforce the phonics stuff that they do at school.

red nose readers

try thebookpeople

seriously fab funny early reading books

here Red Nose Readers £8.99 for the set

Ooh, they look good, twig. Ta. We love the Albergs in this house.

they are great .. I used to keep them on top of wardrobe and told DS that when he read one he could keep it ... he was really enthralled by it

and they are very funny

(if you don't know thebookpeople have a mooch around the site ... lots of early reader packs at great prices .. and lots of other classic kids' books)

We are revisiting the Marks and Spencers Early Readers selection. DD (4) has the full set and used to love them when she was little - they are all the classic fairy stories.

We are finding that they are now ideal for her to read at bedtime with our help.

I should add they are quite cheap as well 5 pounds for 3 and really well made books. They have the full text on the left page and a key sentence for children to read on the right.

we got some titchy witch from the library this week and ds really enjoyed them. Not sure if they would be too difficult, ds is also reception but reading very well.
Worth a look in the library though - good as a bedtime story if too difficult for her.

slouchy second red nose readers and also DS2 is doing well with, of all things, Ladybird Key words (peter and jane etc).

We got a job lot in a jumble sale somewhere and he has just been reading to me from 3a this pm. But the first ones (1a, obv!) are very simple. Have a look. The books themselves are quite long (50pp so take more getting through than school reading scheme ones, ie they don't read it twice and then learn it.

This is such a tricky stage isn't it. I recall the relief when DD was suddenly able to manage Magic Key and Rainbow Magic and Milly-Molly-Mandy
