+1. It bugs me to no end when parents brag about their kids reading Harry Potter in K-2. It doesn’t mean anything. And frankly, it’s not appropriate in my opinion it read those books so young.[/quote]

Preach! I am a reading teacher and I completely agree. :) [/quote]

But I read it somewhere that if a kid does not understand a HP book (or any book that is way too advanced for his/her age), he/she will not continues reading the whole book not even mention the whole series.  Showing interested in these books at such a young age some what shows a kid's advanced reading ability.  A kid who is not a good reader will not even try to read these books - wouldn't you agree on that?[/quote]

One can be a good reader and be able to ‘read’ it but not be able to understand HP (or a higher level book) and you can be a poor reader and understand HP (or other higher level book) if one ear reads then as an audio book.  Decoding/phoneme awareness are different from comprehension.  All play a role in reading levels as well as other things like vocabulary and background knowledge. [/quote]
