My younger dc is struggling with understanding the language of classical books. I have realised a couple of times that she completely misunderstood some sentences or expressions. Unfortunately being busy, I don’t get a lot of time to sit down with her and read together and explain as we do so. I am looking for an unabridged edition of classics which would include the explanations of vocabulary. Have you come across something like this? I guess that would be a perfect solution for lots of busy parents.

Could you treat her to a Kindle, loaded with the books you want her to read, so that she could use the built-in dictionary? ( Not sure whether other varieties of readers have the same facility). She could combine it with good old fashioned notebook and pencil to write definitions down.

It is great to hear your dd is reading classic books.
It has the capacity to have a real impact on her vocabulary and the story lines along with the new words will all be of great benefit to her.
A little notebook kept close when reading to record unknown words and you encouraging her to use the words in her vocabulary is what I would recommend. DG
