HIT: Update on reading level - series books

[Brenda Wunder <bwunder2002@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi folks,

Just to let you know I met with my principal and my
coworker to discuss the reading levels of the series
books in question. The results: we win! The children
will be allowed to read below level for pleasure
reading and on level for required book reports. Thanks
again for your thoughts and beliefs.

Here is the original post:
My coworker and I are in disagreement as to whether it
is ok for 6th graders to be reading the Hardy Boys
series, Nancy Drew, Dear America and A Series of
Unfortunate Events. Our fiction collection is
separated into grade groups (3-5, 6-8). The 6th
graders are supposed to be taking books from the 6-8
section and not the 3-5 section. However, I feel that
these books are on the borderline and can go in either
group. Usually this isn's too much of a problem unless
one of us is covering for the other; if a student
brings back a late book on a day I am not there; or,
if one of her 6th grades sees that one of mine has one
of these books from the 3-5 section.  I say yea, she
says nay. Your opinions please?
