I’m a teacher and I have a kid in my 2nd grade class who is autistic and has a college level reading ability. His comprehension is incredible. However, his behavior and participation level can be very challenging. I found last year that rewarding good classwork with reading time worked incredibly well.
Where my challenge comes in is finding books that are at his level-ish but have absolutely no adult content or violence, I am at a public school and he is only 7.
He LOVED “Fortunately, the Milk” last year he read it several times. He also loved all the Roald Dahl books I gave him, he read a shorter one in a day.
He hates Harry Potter, not because of the magic/wizard content of it, I’m fairly sure. But maybe because of the popularity and probably how much people he might not like love it? Not sure exactly but no HP recs please!
