[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with most of what was already said.  One thing to watch out for - when my DC was in K, they were only allowed to take out books from a certain section of the media center, aka, the library.  It was picture books, and DC was already reading chapter books on their own.  Teacher also did not have chapter books as part of her in class library.  So, first we had a chat with the head of the media center (back to school night), so that DC could take out any book.  We also made certain that there were always 2 chapter books (paperback so not so heavy) in DCs backpack.

And, recognize that for some kids, K will be about learning school routines and making friends, and that is ok![/quote]

Our DC's teacher kept chapter books in the back of her closet for later in the school year but took them out when some of the kids were asking for more things to read. There was one boy in particular who read through her entire library in a few weeks. They can also borrow books from the 1st and 2nd grade teachers. And we're not talking about June B Jones or Magic Tree House. She had some higher level non-fiction and things like Harry Potter hidden away. Just ask.[/quote]
