[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take them to the bookstore or library and let them pick out what seems interesting. You don't need to control it by level. [/quote] +1 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. [/quote]
