Well now she's just completed the level 3 books! Let me remind you she's going at her own pace, which is a bit faster than I would have liked or even expected! She's ready to move onto Level 4, on the back of these books it says they are for children who:
- can recognise 30-50 words by sight,
- can read harder sentences, with less support and
- can use letter sounds to help make words.
Of course I am absolutely delighted and proud of my girl, knowing these are skills for life and also knowing her love of books will serve her very well. What scares me about the whole thing is that it puts her 2 years ahead of most of her peers here in France. My original thoughts were that she was learning to read in English, then she could wait for school to teach her in Breton and then in French. However all on her own she seems to be able to sound out the words in her two other languages too.
I am yet to search for or buy learning to read books in French, but I certainly don't want to hold her back so I'll be researching which ones to buy soon enough....
