DK's THE ADVENTURES OF HAN SOLO is at the beginning 4th Grade reading level.
Like many DK Readers about Star Wars, this book features a lot of great photos. What I don't understand is why the language always sounds so stilted. Many popular Young Adult books are at the 4th grade reading level --TWILIGHT is at the 4th grade reading level -- so why can't these DK books for elementary aged kids read better than they do?!?
Well, regardless it won't matter to most kids that the language is so stiff because the book is about a favorite franchise and characters.
There's actually a lot of fun information in this book. Info about the Millennium Falcon, Chewie, and Han and the gang. Children will read, for example, about how Shyriiwook is the language Wookiees and Han speak. Han knows this language because he was raised by a Wookiee called Dewlanna.
The book mixes in some exciting elements by reminding children of incidents from the movies and books. Here's some sample text from a page:
Oh no -- it's Jabba the Hutt!
Jabba is a powerful crime lord.
Han used to smuggle for Jabba.
On one trip Han lost Jabba's
cargo and Jabba wasn't happy!
STAR WARS in general and these DK books can be great motivators to get kids to sit down and read. And they are books children frequently read more than once. They also have the advantage of being at most libraries.
**Teachers should note that there is an Accelerated Reader test available for this book.… (más)
