My older daughter, London, is a second grader reading on a seventh grade level. She never has any trouble finding a book she enjoys, but I have to pre-screen them for content. Clearly, she's a strong enough reader for Judy Blume's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" but the content is not age appropriate. Her sister, Maddie, on the other hand, is a first grader who has thankfully just moved into chapter books. Until now, Maddie has found the books she could read on her own (consisting mostly of three letter words and short sentences) to be totally boring, relying instead on someone to read to her. Reading chapter books on her own has opened up a whole new world to her. I will check out James Patterson's site... I had ambitions of doing the same thing on Roxy's Best Of... Books for Kids (left the link on this comment), but I think I've only covered one book so far. Roxy That sounds like a really good idea.
