Although a student may be an excellent reader, it is incorrect to assume that he or she will comprehend text typically found at (and intended for) a higher grade level.

Particularly if you have a high level lexile score for a very young student. My DD scored in the 1100's in the second grade and that left us searching for books that were challenging and didn't have mature content. Beauty and the Beast wouldn't cut it, and neither would East of Eden, if you know what I mean.
