I like your suggestion about organizing books by reading level. I got curious and did a search about how to determine the grade level of a children’s book. This was one of the first results, and I found it interesting: http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/reading_levels.htm . You may even want to teach your daughter how to find and decode these markings on books.

Book-it was awesome! I know that you should read for the sake of reading, but if they had Book-it for adults, I know I would read more.

That’s awesome that your daughter loves to read. Reading was a huge part of my childhood, and I think it’s critical in helping kids develop.
