LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I was dismayed to see that the AR ATOS reading level for Myers's book
"Scorpions" is 3.7. I talked with Renaissance about it and was told that
reading levels are determined by sentence length and word length and content
is not taken into consideration. I am concerned about this since parents
complain more about content of a book than the words or sentences.
In my opinion, the content of this book is not appropriate for third
graders. I am planning to complain to Renaissance about it and would like
some feedback.
By the way, this book is the same level as some of the Dr. Seuss books.
