Children's Books discussion

Hi all, my son who is 6 really lacks confidence in reading. He just read Andy Griffiths "the cat on the mat is flat". This was ideal as it has more pages (166) so it felt like a chapter book but it is at a simple level. Can anyone recommend books of a similar level by other authors perhaps that are around that 100-200 pages? Thanks so much!!

My son and students have loved this one.

The Read-It-Yourself Storybook

I have started gathering this type of books into a list of very easy chapter books, based on the books my son and his friends tried and seemed to be into. Fly Guy, Max Spaniel and the Elephant and Piggie books were read over and over, they are so funny (these may cap at 64-80 pages or less tho).

There's another one by Andy Griffiths: The Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow, very easy and very silly. Your son is also gonna love The 13-Story Treehouse once he gets to that stage.

I could also suggest Nate the Great, a series of "mysteries" with a decent plot but very easy vocabulary.

Please don't fret too much, either. My son didn't read at age six, then discovered The Adventures of Captain Underpants, and not too many years later he got more out of the trilogy His Dark Materials than I did!

Don't worry. Kids in Germany begin to learn to read at age 7 and all is fine.
As I am not german, I began reading with my son one year earlier than allowed by school and now, one year later, he is reading (slowly and with mistakes) in german, english and spanish.
His favourites are Star Wars books. There are millions available. We agreed on reading one "real" book, then one "Star Wars" book, then one "real" book again.
Works for us perfectly.
Maybe find a topic that your son enjoys even if the books are not the best books, maybe books about sports...

That's why I wrote Gianna the Great for high interest low vocabulary readers who are having trouble reading more advanced books.
