[quote=Anonymous]When our 4th grader wanted to read The Hunger Games because everyone else was, I read them first. And then I spoke to the school reading specialist, because I thought the themes were too mature. She told me [am paraphrasing, becaus that kid is out of college now and my memory isn't what it was], if your kid is interested in reading, let them read. If they don't understand something, it'll go over their head, and if they are interested, they'll ask you about it. If they already "get it," it's not too mature for them. I've always gone with that strategy, and all 3 of our kids were and are voracious readers who have done well inside of school and outside of school[/quote]
