My child.was assessed to be at K3 reading ability but i find chapter books too hard for.her because of the context of the story.
The ladder readers are not interesting enough though. So I just took the teachers advice and gave her picture books like those by Jim Murphy, Eric carle, Julia Donaldson.
Some Julia Donaldson books are challenging enough and they are easily found from public libraries.
If your child is ready for chapter books you may try Oxford Magic tree House or Nancy Drew stories.
ORT睇到邊個stage?其實Tree Tops 都係chapter books黎ga,可繼續睇落去。另外,Mr. Men & Little Miss, Usborne Young Reading, Magic Tree House, A to Z mystery, Magic School Busd都可俾佢試下。
Then he is definitely not ready to read chapter books yet, unless you want to read them to him. Furthermore , sentence structures are more varied and complex . It won't do him any good.
Stage 3 n 4 are really easy. You should at least wait until he can read level 10 aloud to you, before you start him on chapter books.
