[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate this thinking. What makes you think it "evens out"? The kid entering kindergarten reading Harry Potter.... isn't going to just stop learning. If they are reading a 5th grade level (Potter's 1st book), by 3rd grade would be reading things high school kids do if they are following their track.... [/quote] In my experience at least, the books kids read tend to have to at least as much to do with their interest in the subject matter as their reading ability; kids will push themselves to read harder books if they're interested in the books - my oldest got into YA novels at a shockingly young age because she was utterly fascinated by trashy teenage romance/murder plots - but even if your 3rd grader is capable of reading Joyce's "Ulysses," it's unlikely they'd get much out of it because it doesn't really speak to the experiences of a 3rd grader.[/quote]
