[LM_NET] MS: High ability, MS interest

["Meintz, Nicole" <MeinN@COLDWATERSCHOOLS.ORG>]

Hi great brain-
I have some 6th graders who are reading at a 9th grade reading level.  Their 
teacher requires them to read books at that level.  The first book that came to 
mind that I have in my MS library wasn't appropriate for these boys and girls.  Do 
you have any suggestions?

Also, can you suggest a way I can quickly look up or figure out the reading levels 
of books?  I know about looking on the back of the book, but there are many books 
that don't provide that information.

My many thanks.  :)
