[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So our AAP kids are special readers now? OMG. [/quote]

Not OP, but [b]they should be advanced readers.[/b]

OP, mine is reading Percy Jackson and about to move on to another Rick Riordan series.  [/quote]

Not necessarily.  Reading level is not as a reliable indicator of intelligence as other things.  Many intellectually gifted students have reading issues that need to be addressed. [/quote]

Friend's rising 5th grader is finally able to read Judy Moody books.  This was an accomplishment.  My non-AAP kid is a voracious reader, and started Harry Potter series in 2nd grade.  DC didn't comprehend everything initially read independently, but had the stamina to finish the whole series before 3rd.  DC then read the series again and again with increasing comprehension and connections to other things.  That DC has very good comprehension now, and continues to read more sophisticated books than my own AAP kid who preferred Big Nate and the like.  Emphasize a love of reading and a mix of genres rather than the reading level.  If your DC is reluctant to choose books at or just above his/her current level, mix one or two in with a bunch he/she loves.  Good luck![/quote]. Forgot to say friend's rising 5th grade DD is in AAP.[/quote]
