I am looking for suggestions for read-aloud fiction books for my rising 5th graders. More recently, DS/DD has been requesting that I read aloud to them. DS's reading lexile level is suppposed to be early to mid-college and DD is supposed to be late high school to early college. Obviously, their listening comprehension should be beyond their reading lexiles so the sky is the limit as far as reading levels. However, while I have stopped paying attention to reading levels the last couple of years, they have clearly read popular age-appropriate books due to interest. In other words, I don't think that they would appreciate War and Peace even if they are capable of reading it but at the same time I don't want to be bore to death.
