Appropriate books for a preschooler reading at 6th grade reading level

[Anonymous]

What are some age-appropriate books for a preschooler who is reading at a 6th grade reading level? I'm looking for new ideas because many books at this level do not seem to have age-appropriate content for 4 and 5-year-old kids. TIA

A set of encyclopedias

Doesnt need to be at an appropriate level - just let them read what they are interested in. (are you a troll) what testing have you had done if they are not in kindergarten yet?

Has Larla read wings of fire? What has Larla read at a 6th grade level?

I'm not a troll. My child has taken several different assessments and reads many advanced chapter books. I'm just looking for new ideas.

Take them to the bookstore or library and let them pick out what seems interesting. You don't need to control it by level.

The children's nonfiction section at the library should have lots of options. Let him read about lions or rockets or construction vehicles or whether he finds interesting.

Wings of Fire is super violent. My 7 yo was telling me about about rotting heads on pikes that surround the walls of one of the castles. Definitely not great for a 4 yo.

So have them read more of the authors they are already reading? Part of reading at a sixth grade level is processing concepts that may not be appropriate for a five year old- does Larla understand what he reads or just know the words?

I wouldn’t have my preschooler reading books at a 6th grade level. Have them stick to books for kids K-2, where the concepts are age appropriate. Just because they are capable of reading at that level at age 4, it doesn’t mean you need to give them books that advanced.

Just because a kid CAN read at a higher grade level doesn't mean they HAVE to read at a higher grade level. We had this issue -- my kid was reading several grades ahead, but the content of many books "at her level" was not appropriate for her, or she simply didn't have the experience to relate to it or the life understanding to really get it. So she read things that were not "challenging" but that were emotionally appropriate. We also read a lot of picture books, which are often written at a higher reading level (since often it's parents reading to kids, so the vocabulary is more advanced). She also liked collections of fairy tales and folk tales, as well as things like kid's encyclopedias or reference books for kids about space or the ocean or animals or whatever.

I would have them read National Geographic books or other informational texts on age appropriate concepts.
