I read this article last week & it just got my dander up...another seeming attempt at "teacher bashing", in my opinion. I hope that the readers of the HP article will read the full text-including the actual list of top books read by high schoolers-NONE of which are developmentally appropriate for 5th graders! Interest is a much more powerful indicator of what students will read than lexile...especially when they are reading for pleasure.
