[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kiddo is reading at a 3rd grade level and won't stop reading. I didn't know kids could read too much but we need him stop in order to come up for air and interact with people. What do we do? He's into Dogman and Dragon Master books.[/quote]

This sounds similar to my kid. Like tonight he devoured an entire Merlin mission magic tree house book before bed.

Truthfully, there’s a pretty wide range in 1st and it’s clear to us that DS is doing more than fine so we don’t really care at this point, just that he continues to love reading. One thing I have found helpful is to google Lexile and guided reading level ranges that are expected for his grade. I then compare the books DS is reading to that range to have an idea whether we should be concerned. This was helpful in K when trying to understand if he was on target for 1st. Now I do it to figure out what books to suggest to DS that are just a little bit more challenging to where he is at now.[/quote]

Talk about obsessive - cross checking what your kid is reading and whether it’s where he should be and then trying to figure a way to push him past his limits.   You need to relax and enjoy having a healthy kid who likes to read.   [/quote]
