Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Recommended Resources Finding high level books that are appropriate?

Grinity's list is making me giggle. I think you should ask if the teacher will do a book club with her on these two:

Understanding Multivariate Research: A Primer for Beginning Social Scientists

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (Oxford Paperbacks) by John D. Barrow

For these kids, at this point, the Lexile is obviously not really a great measure for everyday reading. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to read those books for pleasure. (Does she?) She should just read good, high-level literature that's also age-appropriate--probably, books that would be taught in high school but are on the tamer side in terms of content. Shakespeare could be a fun challenge if you'd like to stretch her. I enjoyed Ibsen's plays as a young high schooler.
