I am putting together a presentation for the NCTE conference in November 2006 and
need the input of as many librarians/teachers/book people as possible.
My topic is age appropriate books for children reading either significantly above
or below grade level.
Please take a few minutes and compile a short list of books that appeal to gifted
and struggling readers. I’m especially interested in recent titles, ones that go
beyond ‘the classics’ or ‘high-low.’ I’ll be glad to compile a HIT as well as a
link to my presentation when it’s finished.
For example:
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Reading Level: High School
Age Appropriate For: Middle School, Sophisticated Intermediate
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, J.K. Rowling
Reading Level: Intermediate
Age Appropriate For: Middle School, High School
If you are willing to pass on my request and contact information to colleagues,
that would also be appreciated.
