I sent this email to the school:
We would like to express a great concern regarding the book fair and the books that the children are allowed to review. Our daughter went to Brownies today and after the meeting, her and my husband went to the Book Fair to look at the books. He walked with her over to the chapter book section of the book fair to look at those books. At that point, our daughter became nervous/anxious and told my husband that the teacher told the class that they were not allowed to look at those books because "they were too hard for us." Our daughter regularly reads to herself, especially chapter books, for enjoyment at home. Now, after this incident she feels that she is not allowed to read these books. She has also told me that she is afraid to look at the chapter books because she will get in trouble, that no other kids will be looking a them, and then she will have no friends to have fun with at the book fair.
What can be done to undo this?
