My elder daughter started reading when she was 5, but I seldom buy books for her. It's a hassle when it comes to storage. Instead, I borrow books from the Singapore National Library Board.
I make it a habit to read to them before bedtime. As my girl will do her own reading, my bedtime book choices cater more for my younger boy.
My girl is 8 years old this year and here are some series from the library that she enjoys. I have included the library call number for your convenience.
