How true! I've never been a fan of leveling children into groups, and of telling children they could not read this or that book because it wasn't at their "level." Even in the first grade, children need to learn to take risks. Yes, a book may be too difficult, but if the motivation is there, it may be just the book to spur new growth in the child. I've seen it happen countless times.

Absolutely! There are ways to teach good book fit and ways to teach finding a reach read. Finding a book you love can be just the motivation kids need. My kids reach hard to be able to read Mercy Watson books.
