Gentle Reads for Precocious Readers
The titles on these lists reflect the interests of that grade rather than
any particular “reading level.” This is not only because there is a wide
range of “reading levels” in a “typical” classroom, but also
because the reading level of individual readers is usually very
different in June than it was in September.
