[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations to your son on that score -- he's clearly doing well with reading! I have two kids who also scored in the 240s in 4th grade. Now in 7th and 9th grades, they still love Wings of Fire (as do I - it's a seriously fun series, even for adults). We did not push them to choose challenging books, but just let them explore books on topics they enjoy. They read a lot, and their constant reading has expanded their vocabularies, comprehension abilities, and overall critical thinking, even if they're reading books that aren't on the same level as their MAP-R lexiles. A book club could be fun, though, or even just choosing a family book for you all to read and discuss together (see above re: Wings of Fire -- we've had a lot of discussions about all 17 books, as well as the differences between the novels and the graphic novels). Discussing characters, motivations, settings, world-building, etc. can be engaging and help your kid's skills grow.[/quote]
