I had to have an argument with my DD10's teacher over reading levels for AR books because the majority of the age appropriate books were well below her level. Of course, the majority of what she wanted to read were in the 4th - 5th grade levels (we currently use STAR Reading levels, not Lexiles), and she was told she had to read 6.0 or above. When I explained that she would not be able to read any of the reading assignments for his class or the Battle of the Books books, he relented and artificially dropped her level for AR. My main concern at this point is that she ENJOY reading.

Good luck.
