[quote=Anonymous]My kids read for pleasure all the time. I'm not sure how a list of their books helps you. Their schools frequently have assignments where the child chooses a book on topic, but a list (along with the Lexile level) of options is given with a proviso that if the child chooses a book off list, that's fine as long as it gets teacher approval first (for topic relevance and appropriate Lexile level for the student). I think they do it this way because it is a giant public school with kids of many reading levels in the same class and this is a good way to teach a topic, discuss themes, etc., while making sure each kid is challenged at the right reading level. I think it has been a successful model in the 6 or 7 years I've seen it assigned this way.[/quote]
