What reading stage?:-
Stage 1: Evocative text with pictures that enable a parent to talk to the child about what is happening.
Stage 2: Stories of children and their worlds. Appeal to toddlers and very young children. Simple stories but rich text.
Stage 3: Simple chapter books and other books with lots to think about.
Stage 4: Books that are technically for any age but where we found the themes and emotional level suitable for younger children.
I'm aiming to keep this list updated. These are some of our favourite books, listed roughly in order of difficulty.
