[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd err on the side of "possibly too hard" because the kid can always grow into the book. But if you go "too easy", the kid and parents might be offended and they won't be able to use it. My daughter is reading dory fantasmagory right now. She likes goosebumps and cupcake diaries. So chapter books. She liked charlotte's web too. [/quote] I'm not sure I agree. As a parent of a kid who took their time learning to read, and a special educator, I think that to a child a gift of a book they can't read feels a whole lot like a slap across the face. If you don't know what or how well a child reads, then I'd either get something picture heavy https://www.amazon.com/Star-Character-Encyclopedia-Updated-Expanded/dp/1465448853/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482518339&sr=8-1&keywords=star+wars+books Or something like a joke book.[/quote] This. Teachers spend time teaching kids to pick just right books. You can google what that is.[/quote]
