Hey Parents,

Please share what you and your kids are reading (perhaps their age as well), so we can all use it as a reference of sort. How do you entice your kids to read? What's your experience in getting your kids to read Chinese story books?

Book reviews for mums, dads, and kids are welcomed too. :lol:

My gal is 4.5 years old. Is mad about Peter and jane series only. So I got nearly the whole series for her.

kaitlynangelica,

Which Peter and Jane series ? Is it the Ladybird keyword series ?

BlueBells,
Check out my blog for the list of books my kids love from baby to 3 years old.

From 4 - 5 years old, they love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett. My 5 year old girl is reading Charlotte's Web now.

Here's a list of Chinese books. My mother reads these books to my kids every night before they sleep, and they love them.

Yes its the ladybird keyword series. Don't ask me why but she is crazy about it. Actually, that one teaches based on word recognition rather than phonetics. I prefer the read with phonics series but she doesn't seem interested in the story.
