[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classic Starts books like The Odyssey, Robinson Crusoe, Around the World in 80 days, Swiss Family Robinson.

+1 to Rick Riordan.  Mine loved the first Percy Jackson series, but the other books seem a bit too long and too mature for now.  [/quote]

+1. This is where my (now TJ) kid was between second and third. Had read his way through more modern books. We were looking for books that were advanced for a 9 year old, but didn’t advanced content/ adult themes. The children’s classics were great.

Not sure if it is still a thing, but we used Lexiles to help out.

Looks up the Lexiles of the books that had been a good match for DC. Then looked at what else was at that Lexile for ideas.

For example, if your DD loves Heidi, you can look it up and see that the unabridged version is 1200L.   Then you can see that other books 1100L to 1300L appropriate for an age range 8-11 include Gullivers Travels and Lemony Snickett and Little Women. [/quote]
