Did you know that Twiligh is
a 5.2 reading level. LOL Our librarian is ordering them for our middle schoolers and I asked her what reading level they were. I cracked up because I'm obsessed with a fifth grade level book. HOWEVER I think it is more of a book aimed at much older kids.
Here's the thing...we are told to read books to the kids ABOVE their reading level. Soooooo can you imagine reading that book to 4th graders. I don't think so! LOL |

OMG LOL! I freakin love this book!
But I honestly I would not let my daughter read these till 8th 9th grade. Luckily my daughter is only 8 and by the time she is in middle schoool the twilight hype will be over.

WOW! I am shocked that they think 5th graders can read these books. Now I know why there are so many young kids having you know what (not sure if I can say the 's' word here). Let them read stuff that is way beyond where they should be developmentally and that's what happens I guess. Or am I living under a rock and a 5th grader should know all this stuff?

I believe its the same thing for Harry Potter. I think that those books are lower middle school level reading. My daughter started reading them in 3rd grade.

It's not that they think that these are appropriate for fifth grade. It's just that the words are written at a 5th grade level.
I have a sixth grader reading these. I did tell her that I need a parent's permission when she gets to Breaking Dawn. |

my fourth grader is just starting to read the Harry Potter books on her own, no way would I let her attack the Twilight books. Now my oldest, grade eighter, I would allow, but he appears to have not much interest in doing so yet.

My third grader reads Harry Potter, and I have no problem with that. Twilight, I would have a problem with, at least til he was 11-12ish. However, I am trying REALLY hard not to censor too much what he (and the rest of the kids) reads, he LOVES to read, and I hope he always will.
He would have no interest in Twilight yet anyway, he likes his Pokemon books best LMAO

Well I read Valley of the Dolls when I was 11 yo... so everything depends on the kid and the parents criteria
