I've been learning recently about over estimating and underestimating the comphrension of those we work with when it comes to other languages or cultures. Like telling 'stone-age' tribe about flying and visas...

One of the children that I tutor like to weasel his way out of doing things. I've been reading a Bible Story book that is about a third grade level... He was complaining and saying that fifth graders don't read books of that magnitude. Last week when I went to visit him he was reading a chapter book almost flawlessly. Perhaps I need to give him a copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Any other suggestions of simple yet great books?
