The chapter books can be assigned ridiculously low levels, while the picture
books are the opposite. Polacco's The Keeping Quilt is mid 4th grade, as is
Nina Jaffe's In the Month of Kislev. These books are graded at a higher
reading level that Levine's Freefall andthe same as Kass' Real Time. Real
Time, about a teenager visiting Israel who experiences a terrorist incident is
also given a level of 4.4, same as The Keeping Quilt! I want to accommodate
the needs and requests of our schoolchildren, but one hopes that their public
and day schools who use Accelerated Reader are not rigid (as I fear many of
them are) when implementing the program.
