apm, just a suggestion, but if she likes to read non fiction, it will offer her a wider variety of books to choose from. Non-fiction books often have higher AR levels. After my DD brought home a fiction book that was within her AR level, but content was completely inappropriate for her age (at the time she was 7), I spoke to the school librarian and we agreed that she could select one fiction book that was within any AR level and one non-fiction book that matched her AR level. My DD actually ended up enjoying learning about historical people and I was surprised at how she rose to the challenge in her reading.
