Hi!
When ds was tutored 2-3 Yrs. ago, (he's now yr. 8,) his tutor recommended reading certain books, one was 'the wolves of Willoughby chase', in order to help improve/ expand vocab. Unfortunately she said this rather to late in the day for it to be of much use. It would have been more useful for her to provide a reading list if this is what she was recommemding at the beginning of his time with her, but hey- ho...Still he passed.
Dd is now in yr 5 and I want to get her reading some books that will be useful for the same reason. We still want books to be interesting and relevant for her. So ive been wondering What does everyone on here recommend/had recommended to them, for books with more interesting/ challenging vocab/ story lines She's a competent but not an avid reader.
Thanks F x
