I don’t think there is such a thing as a bad book for children. And that means, at its simplest, finding books that they enjoy, giving them access to those books, and letting them read them. The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. Whilst you may or may not think JW is the thing for your DD to be reading now, it’s probably doing much the same, kindling a love of reading that will expand and grow and encompass so much more. I realise now that they were the start of her wanting to read for pleasure, and glad I didn’t dissuade her from reading them. I hated them at the time, but didn’t say anything as I was just pleased she had finally got to grips with reading and I want her to enjoy what she read. Once she started to pick it up she started reading the Rainbow magic books. It also meant we had to buy her a really big book case.ĭD was a late starter to reading (possibly dyslexic, as I am too).

(If I’d pushed her to read certain types, she would have just resisted.) But the love of reading meant that as she got older she started to embrace things like Pride and Prejudice etc and ended up doing A level English Lit. She’ll run out of JW books and want to move on to something else and there’s plenty there (many with excellent Vocab if that’s a thing).ĭD didn’t read any of the classics then, wasn’t her thing and I never pushed it. The more they enjoy it the more they do it. We had that too, had to tell her to stop reading at night. I’m with the ‘let her read what she enjoys crowd here’. It is getting to the stage where we have to make her turn the light out at night.
