The only problem my son has now (about the same STAR range as your daughter) is that he has to ask permission to go under his STaR range which is a pain...he isn't going to read Hop On Pop but sometimes there will be series of books where most of them are 4.8 and above but one might be 4.4 for some reason. I think it is ridiculous and he should read whatever he wants. I understand 70% of the kids need guidance in selection (I am volunteering about three hours a day there and see a lot) some kids just need for the adults to stay out of the way.
