My 5 year old races through readalouds ("Another chapter!") so I've also frantically been compiling a list so that we've always got another one to reach for. One of my favourite activities and even the 3 year old listens in half the time. Has your daughter read 101 Dalmatians?

101 Dalmatians is a great suggestion, I’d completely forgotten about it. She was given it as a gift when she was maybe 5 or 6, and it was too much for her to read alone. But I think they’d both love it now as a read aloud.
When my two were 5 and 3 we used to spend hours every day all snuggled on the sofa reading book after book. I loved it. I think now they can read themselves, and have lots they want to fit into their days (even if a lot of it is Lego!), there is more competition for the time and reading aloud gets pushed aside. But I’m trying reading to them at tea time, when they’re eating and I’m not, which is working quite well.
