As our children begin moving away from picture books, it's crucial for their future as readers that we keep them engaged, excited and entertained as they take their first timid steps towards independent reading.
For this particular phase, where weaning them off of the special effects of novelty books and the fun wordplay of picture books may be a challenge, the best recommendation we could give is to take them on an adventure. Yes, adventure books are where all the fun is to be had for readers aged 5 and 6!
As always, we believe the best way to keep children engaged with reading is through series. The familiarity of beloved characters mixed with the mystery and excitement of new adventures is a great reading combo and will keep their steam running on a high! Here are our favourite series if your little one is ready to experience the thrill of incredible journies, epic worlds, heists and chases!
