Re: Books Divided By Grade

["Madeline L. Buchanan" <mlbuchan@bellsouth.net>]

There has been several messages concerning books divided by grade and the
statement that many of the older students would not want to look for books
in grade levels below theirs.  I do not separate books except for the
kindergarten students but I have many older students who love reading the
easier books and must be persuaded to check out books more appropriate for
their grade levels, even though they are very good readers.  Teachers who
use the Accelerated Reader program are a great help in encouraging students
to read books on their grade levels and of course I try to work with the
students to help them choose challenging books.

I have also had language arts middle school teachers encourage their
students to check out easy books so they can determine plot, character,
settings, and other aspects of stories.

Progress is slow because nothing is ever invented and perfected at the same
time.
