Horror & ghost stories chillers (Children's/YA)Ĭhildren at this age of 7-9 are developing confidence and can independently decide what they choose to read.

So some mine have liked at a similar stage: I find it's easiest at the library if you have some ideas of authors to look for. And none of these books tend to be age inappropriate.Ī lot of easier/shorter chapter books are going to be approachable too. That will further DD's love of reading, whilst also helping to expand her vocabulary.Īt that level pretty much any picture book or "easy reader" she feels like reading is going to be OK - there aren't many words altogether so even if a few of them are not in her vocabulary or tricky to decode then it won't be onerous to fill in the gaps. ![]() So, I'm looking for similar books that tick the above boxes. There were words not in her vocabulary such as 'tantalising', but I explained them to her and then when she came across them again later, she knew what they meant. She answered questions such as 'why did the author describe the Gruncher as ravenous instead of hungry?' well. There were nonsense words such as 'vermicious knid' that she decoded well. Was engrossed in the story and enjoyed predicting what may happen next. ![]() She read confidently with great expression. The only clue I have as to the best level is that we recently read a gem of a book that seemed perfect.ĭD loved it. I'm looking for books that DD will enjoy, that will help her develop her comprehension and other reading skills. I managed to have a brief chat with a TA who was watching class for two days, she said if DD's not getting benefit from the school books, to just let her read what she likes. Before the summer she had purple band.Īlthough at home I can 'assess' how easily and confidently she decodes and reads with expression, I'm unsure how to tell whether she comprehends appropriately to determine the best level for her. The orange band books she brings home are very easy for her. The problem with automatically putting them all back is that DD read loads over summer and progressed. School say they put all kids back a few levels after summer and, due to staff illness and different people covering the class each day, they say they're unable to assess reading levels until after half term.ĭD reports no reading in groups at school so far and has not been heard reading. I'm afraid the least helpful part of this post is that I don't really know what level/book band DD should be reading.
