[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine. By 6, DD was reading them herself.[/quote] Give me a break. Maybe, but certainly not comprehending.[/quote] I could have, and I’ve taught two children who could have. Some of the idiosyncrasies of boarding school go over the heads of anyone who has never attended, so I don’t count that against young children. Young children are more likely to be surprised, due to less experience to use while foreshadowing, but the comprehension can be equivalent to late elementary, which is the target audience (7-10) for the first (illustrated) book. The standard books are a little more difficult, but not by much.[/quote] This sounds right. I started reading it out loud to my child at around 5 year old. Eventually I would have her read a paragraph every other page or so, then we traded off pages. At 6 she still liked reading with me but she could definitely read it by herself.[/quote]
