rocketgob Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Here my 7 year old reads anything from Horrid Henry, Spiderwick Chronicles, Harry Potter etc but his reading age is way above what it should be. As for my HFA 3 year old - anything that has letters or words gets ignored UNLESS it is Night Garden or Thomas!! We used Oxford Reading Tree and the books are really good - would recommend them!

jb1964 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Hi, When my (ASD) daughter was younger probably 6 or 7 - it was mainly Horrid Henry and any Roald Dahl books (especially George's Marvellous Medicine) - also the Winnie the Witch books and a lovely big book of stories (both traditional and teddy themed) - which have all come back out now as I'm reading to my littlest one (who's 5). Only thing is these books were in immaculate condition as my eldest wouldn't have dreamt to deface a book (or toy etc) yet my 5 yr old (NT) has drawn over or ripped them all. Take care, Jb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarolineJ Report post Posted April 21, 2008 I take mine to the library and let them pick what they like. I don't have to moan about spending a fiver on some tatt then! lol We have hundreds of books on the shelves and they love to work their way through. My 7 year old is just getting into paperbacks. She's leafing Jacqueline Wilson books most of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jo4themo Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Preston Pig was popular here too when N was younger. Her younger sister is really into horses and loved the Sheltie books (which N also loves as they are funny), both like the Sophie books and N also likes Harry Potter, Snoopy, books with puzzle adventures in (like Usborne Puzzle Adventures) and the Gaskitts series by Allan Ahlberg. Her NT sister likes any animal story and has just got into Animal Ark. Her little brother (age 3) is into Thomas stories, Fireman Sam, and story with dogs in and he loves Dear Zoo.

sadie Report post Posted May 5, 2008 We've been through the Sheltie stage.... quite sweet with its whiffles and snickers. Then done the Animal Ark, my are they boring after a while (30+ read), Narnia been done (dd knows page references), author Michael Morpurgo another favourite. And Geraldine McCaughrean(have I spelt that right??) Now trying anything other than above inc classics Anne of Green Gables, Term o Tyke tyler ,Ballet Shoes, Black Beauty anything that I can get hold of in a charity shop (library just that little bit too far- and anyway dd wants to read them again and again) Not sure whether dd fully understands what she reads but keeps her happy. Now 13 --- any other suggestions? (Mum can't face Jacqui Wilson so pleeease don't suggest that) Dd can't choose for herself so I get a bit stuck in a rut. HELP!!

Flora Report post Posted May 5, 2008 My youngest reads golf and aeroplane magazines, and listens to Harry Potter or Horrid Henry on audio books at the mo'. Bill is reading some game programming text book, and dd is reading a biography of Einstein (think she has apsirations) and Sophie's World.
