Which ORT books....

[ireallyreallytrulyhatefootball]

...are the ones designed for 'advanced for their age' readers? I can't remember but ds is at a stage where he can read the vocab of his books very easily but the subject matter of higher levels is a bit too 'old' so I figured these might be good if school or the library has them.

Thanks alittlebit.
He's reception age and on level 8. Reads them easily but some of the themes are a bit lost on him.

There are some ORT ones called 'Robins' which seemed a bit harder than the Biff/Chip/Kipper equivalents at the same stage. DS had them towards the end of reception and they were fine.

Once they get to Level 10 they become chapter books and don't involve Biff & Chip etc.

There are lots of other reading schemes as well as ORT though, and if he is reading easily he would probably enjoy "proper" books as well, eg Horrid Henry.

He reads quite a lot of 'proper' non-reading scheme books at home at bedtime so that's fine he just likes doing the school books and especially Biff/ Kipper etc. so he picks these from the box although there are other schemes in there I guess.

The ORT 'All Stars' range are very good for that age group. The stories are more about Farms and Dinosaurs rather than Biff and Chip going to Madam Tussauds !

Thanks Fimbles - will see if I can get those from the library.

My son is the same age/level.

I've recently given up asking him to read the ORT books at home. He'd much rather read books like the mister men books that are full of silly nonsense. He finds the orts books at that level really dull.

I just told his teacher and she was happy for us to do this.

I would never make a 'good reader' read something he wasn't interested in.
