[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 14:37 that the schools probably struggle to choose books. Apart from the sexual and adult content mentioned by 14:37, for many "great" books you need a certain degree of social and emotional maturity. My DD read Pride and Prejudice in 6th grade and got most of the irony, but was totally turned off by the pressure the daughters faced to find husbands. Now that DD's in high school she "gets" the social issues and context of Pride and Prejudice. I'm another poster who found the idea odd that kids should read only books at the highest lexile. It's not a question of Dr. Seuss. Nor in my view is everything a race for higher lexiles, or the endless pursuit of "vocabulary acquisition." My other kid is reading Animal Farm too ;) [/quote]
