Can you recommend 'reading' books for a 5 year old


Recommended Posts

I would like to buy a collection of 'learn to read' type books for my daughter to have at home. She is 5 1/2 and in Reception so she has one or two books a week from school which we read and make notes in her reading log.


I thought it would be a good idea to have a series of books at home which help her to read and may be a bit more interesting for her (!). I am sure I saw something recommnended on the forum to get their child more engaged in reading but I can't find it.


Any recommendations welcome!


Thanks

Julia Donaldson's Songbirds. They stop at level 6 though. Perfect for reception.


If your daughter is already over level 6, I find that the biff, chip and kipper at level 6 + can be good. The earlier ones are boring!


My daughter also loves the Cat in the Hat reading books ( if I ran the horse show etc...)

My oldest two (4 and 6) really like the old ladybird Read it Yourself range. I got loads off eBay for them. The book probably don't fit with the current reading curriculum but it did get them enjoying reading for themselves.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
