[quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about Lafayette, you'd have to check with them, but from other parents and my own experience most schools allow you to take out whatever books you want from the library even in kindergarten. So you can take out a 300 page book if you want. The higher reading group emphasis in 1st is on basic reading comprehension and reading more complex books for fluency, however the longer books tend to run in the Nate the Great and Magic Tree House level. They will read a book like "Chrysanthemum" and discuss or even write a little about it. This is similar to my 1st grade experience reading the Francis books and discussing them in 1st. Not sure what you expect. My DC is at a high SES school in the suburbs and there are no complaints.[/quote]
