[quote=Anonymous]I let my DD read them starting at whatever point in elementary school they appealed to her, which I think was around first or second grade. Of all of the media and content my kids consume, we put the fewest restrictions on books and are willing to let our kids read things that may be a bit too mature, even if we wouldn't let them watch a movie or show that covered the same subject matter. I'd like them to think of books as a place where they can get away with a little bit more, to keep reading exciting for them. My parents did this inadvertently by not paying attention and I became a great reader; we are doing it deliberately. We encourage the kids to ask questions about anything they find confusing or upsetting and sometimes read the books along with them. Our plan has worked out pretty well and both our 9 and 11 year olds are voracious readers. [/quote]
