[LM_NET] 3rd gd low reading level-season of giving question

[Alma McDermott <Sunshinealma@AOL.COM>]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but why would someone's writing skills dictate  
their reading level? I've seen atrocious writing from doctors, and their reading  
levels aren't considered to be low by anyone trying to decipher their  
prescriptions.

My Dad pulled a name off a tree (to buy  presents for an underprivileged chi=
ld) He said it is an African American  boy in third grade, however from the =
printing on the letter my Dad felt  he may not be reading at a third grade l=
evel. And he asked for  books...YEA. Of course he wants me to go buy the boo=
ks and I am a bit  stumped. Any suggestions of books that would interest a t=
hird grader(who  we know nothing about) with a lower reading level ( sorry d=
on't know the  exact level) I'm just swamped and drawing a blank.
