Hello colleagues!
I have a teacher with a child in her second grade room next year who is
a precocious reader (approx. 5th grade reading level), and who enjoys
reading. His mom is very involved, but is VERY concerned that he not
just pick up a higher-reading-level book but to pick one up with
"appropriate" topics for his age.
At the end of first grade he was plowing through Hardy Boys books (1
every other day), just as an example.
so, my question--
WHat books do you think are of an upper-elementary reading level, but
with topics appropriate for a second-grader. (No sex, not much
violence). I have a few ideas, but I'll need more at the rate he goes
through books!
Or better yet, some websites that might have lists of titles in that
category-- that's actually what the teacher requested.
Thanks in advance, please reply to me cbarwick@geneseo.k12.ny.us.
I'll post a HIT.
