DS1 has always loved books, stories, rhymes, anything really. But since turning 4 he's shown a huge preference for non-fiction. He now only wants books explaining different types of dinosaurs, planes, parts of the body, space, etc, etc. I think he is sucking up so much knowledge it's fantastic, but I kinda miss reading him stories! Stick to whatever she's interested in, she won't enjoy it if it bores her. If she likes fairies, you could even try one of the Rainbow Fairy titles - these are aimed around the 7yr old mark so are longer than 4 yr old titles, but you could read a chapter each night. I know my 5yr old neice loved listening to her older sister read them.

Also, a few months ago we gave in to his constant nagging and let him loose on the computer (we had an old one we didn't use any more so set it up on a desk in the corner of the family room for him.) Now we borrow cd-roms from the library and he mearly always chooses ones with learnig to read/phonics basis. I wasn't fussed about teaching it to him, as a teacher myself I know he would learn it fast enough once he gets to school, but he is doing it all himself and now can sound out quite a few words. But of course, nothing beats reading them a book! We read to both our boys at least 3-4 books each day, usually more.
