[quote=Anonymous]Do you mean for independent reading or for read aloud?

My GT 5th grade voracious reader started with the Warriors series in 3rd and has loved it ever since.  It's about cats.  By Erin Hunter.  She loves all things fantasy from Harry Potter to Percy Jackson and the other myth based series.  I read one - Magnus Chase - over the summer and enjoyed it a lot.  She likes the Spy School series and enjoyed the Mysterious Benedict Society series.  In 4th grade she was forced to branch out a bit more and read some non-fantasy books assigned at school - Esperanza Rising, The Giver.

My second grader who "hates reading" still likes to be read to.  We read aloud books that are well beyond her reading level.  She liked Fish in a Tree and it gave me a language for talking about classroom and friendship dynamics.  We just ordered another book by the same author - Lynda Mullaly Hunt.  She liked the Dog Diaries series in first grade, which I also read to her.  It was difficult enough to be frustrating for her to try to read herself.  We have read aloud books from the Fablehaven series (big sis read them independently starting in 3rd) and the Candy Shop Wars - those mostly stemming from older child's interest in fantasy and recommendations.  I really enjoyed the Fablehaven series.  I was always eager to fit it into our evening routine.
