thank you

This is what reading does, @Offtheygo.

How much reading does your child do - alone, or reading aloud with you? Do they see you reading books regularly?

There really isn’t a better or more ‘user friendly’ way to absorb spelling and use of language. (The Books topic on MN has several current threads on books for children.)

@Weirdle was up until midnight reading last night (9.5y) but that is a really late one we discourage ! Generally I would say about two hours per day split morning over breakfast and evening in bed. has read a lot of graphic novels last year, which I think are good for vocab (at least), now back on pocket books. We will a serie or author she likes and just read all books in line... I will check the Books topic thanks.

@John25498 thank you very much. will check them all over the holiday.

I would say long form mainstream novels are better for sentence structure and general literacy, @Offtheygo - though graphic novels are enjoyable - so good for encouraging reading.

Is she reading aloud to someone. And discussing her comprehension of what she’s reading, and how various effects are achieved? (We tended to do alternate pages of a more challenging book and alternate chapters of an easier one.)

From your mention of pocket books I’m gathering you’re either not in the UK or English isn’t your first language? (It’s just not a common term here.)

(Also, to be strictly accurate, the verb ‘to practise’ uses an ‘s’ rather than a ‘c’ in English rather than American spelling. Which won’t matter if you’re not in England!)

yes well done, we are UK based but not native speakers, we don't speak English at home. well, we will speak to our child in our European native language, and child will respond in English (mostly) or native. DC was diagnosed with ADHD from the earliest age and will follow interests passionately, but finds the daily grind more challenging, lots of things are a battle so we have learned to pick the battle.
Only reading aloud in school once a week for a very brief time. thank you @Weirdle

Right - so that’s the first thing to improve upon. They need to be reading aloud regularly, at home all through primary school. It’s the most important thing for gaining a strong grasp of English. As you’re not native speakers I suggest you ensure she has an Audible subscription and listens to novels being read aloud as well as reading them.

Do you take her to the theatre at all? A bright year 5 child can easily move on from children’s productions to plays suitable for all ages. It’s another way of demonstrating how language is used, and sparking enjoyment. (I’d look for local productions rather than the West End.) If you could find a youth theatre scheme for her to join that would be brilliant.

Do you listen to BBC radio as a family? She will learn an unimaginable amount if you have Radio 4 on throughout the day during the holidays, and morning and evening on schooldays. Listening will extend her vocabulary as well as increasing her general knowledge.
