Would either (or both)...Thanks, Jen and Christina.<br /><br />Would either (or both) of you like to interview a child for a profile?<br />If you're interested, I can send you the questions and a bit more info!<br />joycegrant@sympatico.ca<br /><br />Christina - She sounds great! Maybe looking at her likes and interests would lead you to some good books or other reading material. <br /><br />The other thing you may want to do is to ask her about books she's read recently and what she liked or disliked about them. Maybe they weren't challenging enough (ie, seemed babyish), or were too challenging (big words), or she didn't like the pictures, or they were too long - etc. You never know what she'll say about them. Anyway, that might set you on a path to finding good books for her. Good luck!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />J.<br />PS: If you tell me what she likes doing, maybe I can suggest something.Joycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447325112772188473.post-80601315831685703412010-01-17T17:33:49.118-05:002010-01-17T17:33:49.118-05:00Yes, very fun and helpful.

I'm very anxious to find a profile that matches her and try some new books.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419286563170313201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447325112772188473.post-49766413721228717712010-01-17T15:46:39.719-05:002010-01-17T15:46:39.719-05:00This is a fun post, Joyce!
