Fantastic Mr Fox and George's Marvelous Medicine are at a Level O/P and extremely fun. I usually have a child pick a character and I do as well and we read and reread our way through these laughing the whole way. Dahl is a great writer for vocabulary as well. Enjoy !

I love the I survived series as well.

It is hard to give older kids books that look so young. High Noon books has many books for kids that are high interest and low reading levels. What I find frustrating is that you can only order these books from the company. debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539273876026545805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129006653234939633.post-5623663832403470152014-06-29T11:01:37.806-04:002014-06-29T11:01:37.806-04:00I teach 4th, and I love finding a series for reluc...I teach 4th, and I love finding a series for reluctant readers because they (1) have a book choice for the "next" book built right in and (2) series often follow the same plot pattern, so they begin to anticipate what will happen next and gain better comprehension. I like the I Survived series by Tarshis.

However, when I ask them to read it to me and tell me what it's about they cannot. But they will read through a new series on their reading level or another one a little bit above once it is introduced to them. <br /><br />I sent 5th graders to 6th grade this year at levels K, L, M being the lowest. What levels are students coming in at in your area, Erin ?

I plan on checking these out. <br /><br />JeanetteThird Grade Galorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196336394192061683noreply@blogger.com
