How many books are for kids around 8?

Answer 1

There are lots of books for children. What is more important when choosing a book is not age, but the reading level of the child. Many children read below their age level and some are above. One way to check to make sure the reading level is proper for the child is to have his/her read you a section from the book. If they miss more than 2 words or skip over words the reading level may be too hard for them. Also ask them one or two questions to see if they understand what they just read. This checks comphrension and to see if they understood what they are reading. Doing these things will keep your child reading and the more reading they do the better off they are in school.
