[quote=Anonymous]So, my son reads in the XYZ levels of the DRA system. His preferred downtime reading this summer is Big Nate, which is something like a 3rd grade level. He's rediscovered the series after not reading it for several years. He's also reading Ballad of the Songbird and Snakes, a few Marie Lu books, and some other books that are more at his reading level. Should I worry about is love of Big Nate? He likes to adopt sayings and attitudes from the book, which I find disconcerting. Big Nate is not exactly a great role model. I'm not going to censor his reading, but I'm just trying to figure out why a kid who can read years ahead of his grade level is reading something that he first read in 2nd grade. Is this somehow indicative of emotional immaturity? Asynchronous development? [/quote]
