LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I would like your reading recommendations for children who are reading well
above their grade level. I am accustomed to requests for Hi/Lo materials,
bur our district has been successful in reading interventions and
strategies, and some children are reading quite well while they are in first
or second grade. My principal has asked for books appropriate to a scond
grade maturity level with a fifth or sixth grade reading level. Here is
what I came up with off the top of my head; please let me know what I have
missed. I will repost as a HIT if there is interest. Thanks in advance for
your help.

Alcott, Louisa B. / Little Women, etc.
Byars, Betsy / Most titles
Cleary, Beverly / Most titles
Farley, Walter / Horse books
Henry, Marguerite / Horse books
