Books are my constant companions, my dearest friends, my life-line.

    Is your son reading below level because higher level books are too hard or because the "fun" books are a younger reading level? What you can do is find higher leveled books that are similar to the ones he is reading as slowly introduced them to him. Don't start off immediately with a very high book, but slowly increase it to help ease him to the desired reading range.

    Hey there! It's great that your son is reading even if it's a non-educational book. Kids also need to be able to read "fun" books to help them motivate with their reading. I am currently teaching 2nd grade. I will be doing third grade next year. Here's a website with recommended books at grade level: http://www.pacinfo.com/~handley/orsig/index.html I hope this helps.

    Well, Sophie's world is quite simple yet v.interesting. It explores the philosophy of the western philisophers essentially, right from Socrates, medieval period, baroque, darwinsim etc. to the current date. It is better to read it and then try to assimilate each word mentioned not like a one go read. Combination of two opposites-- fairy tale & philosophy.. Happy reading
