[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think it’s funny that we used to see Harry Potter as a guilty read and a bit junky, and now it’s being held up as an example of kid lit with literary merit. Whatever happened to EB White and others? I open those “children’s novels” now and am blown away by the language. When DD was 7 we tried Wind in the Willows as a read aloud. I though I was actually too late because I thought so many used to have this read to them at preK age. Wow was I wrong. The vocab and syntax was so difficult! [/quote]

Even the original Winnie the Pooh is quite difficult.  Kids books now are largely garbage, especially is they were written after 2000. I can recall reading A Little Princess and The Secret Garden in 4th grade.  4th graders now are just not interested in books like that [/quote]

Interestingly, my 3rd grader just read the graphic novel adaptation of The Secret Garden and asked to read the actual novel, too.[/quote]
