"I enjoyed Biff,Chip and Kipper when my children were learning to read,our first pet (a hamster) was called Kipper  "
Thats cute!
I feel a bit backwards with my daughter learning to read.. she only knows 'a b c' and still cant grasp the sounds/phonics
She memorizes words, (i bought flash cards of the basic 100 words) so when she see's a word she know how to say it, but im not sure if she understands how or why.. and the sounds like 'th' or 'oo' etc
cheating perhaps, but its her way of doing it,, im sure it will click one day |

Ask her school/ nursery how they teach reading. It can be confusing if you use a different system to them. |

I'm very immature. I sniggered every time I read the name out loud to the kids. I had to say I had a cough.  |

Roald Dahl books. Matilda being my favourite in particular.
I do have to read Biff, Chip and Kipper books at work... My favourite phrase is "suddenly the magic key began to glow" its always read really quickly! |

"

She's only just 4.. so they arent teaching her anything, thats something they will do at school (sept)
they just said the fact she is showing an interest in books is great and something to be encouraged. They do have books she comes home with but after reading the book twice she memorized the story based on the pictures
we like to cook, we like to eat, we like to dance, we like to sing' .. u get the idea. So i took it upon myself to hide the pictures one day and ask her to read it backwards and she did.
So i just used her memorization technique but got the flash cards to increase the amount of words she already knew. |

remember my first proper read was a book by Shirley Hughes called 'my naughty little sister'
Jacqueline Wilson books and the 'goosebumps' books were younger teenage faves |

My daughter loved the Jacqueline Wilson books. She still has them on her shelf now. Tracey Beaker was a bit rebellious for me though. |

"Magic faraway tree ..... AWESOME!!!  "
I very nearly bought the combined book of all of these, along with the Wishing Chair one, today.
I saw them in a local discount bookshop.
So tempted! |

My reading age was way ahead of my physical age, so I read all sorts of books as a child. I got through them at a voracious rate.
I remember my mum having a battle with my junior school to let me read books from the 'older' age ranges when I'd read every book designated for my year group. Initially I was told I'd just have to re-read them. |

Robert Westall. I've got most of his books and Blackham's Wimpy is probably the best ghost story I've ever read. The Machine Gunners is brill and the series is also on youtube.
Frank Richards also filled many happy hours for me. |

I went through many many books when I was younger, all the Roald Dahl's, Famous Five, Secret Seven, all the classic learning to read ones but my favourite book ever was the family from one end street, it was full of innocence and family values I loved it.
Then I hit teenage years and it all went escort and penthouse |
