Do you have a picky reader?

We've all heard of picky eaters ~ I have one in my house ~ but have you heard of a picky reader?  A picky reader only wants to read about pirates, princesses, or some other specific subject/author/series.  As a librarian, I am sometimes frustrated by these picky readers.  However, it's best to step back and be thankful they want to read!  How can you find books on the appropriate reading level that are interesting to your little reader?  Check out this link:  Advanced AR Book Finder.  Obviously, this site is affiliated with Accelerated Reader.  I use it for my kids as well as students I tutor with Raising Readers.  You can enter a reading level with a subject, title or author.  Here's an example.  My daughter is in the first grade and she l-o-v-e-s pirates.  I'd go to the book finder and type in "pirate" in the title.  Then, I'd select the radio button beside "Contains".  These two little steps are going to find any book that have the word pirate in the title.  Next, for interest level I will select, "Lower Grades".  Finally, I'd put in the ATOS level.  Since she's in first grade, I could do "1.0 to 1.9".  If they're not reading on grade level, you could enter a level higher or lower.  For these purposes, I put in "1.0 to 1.9".  When I hit "Go", 6 books came up.  I can look through these books and see if they look interesting and figure out if my local library has them.  Play around with this a little.  You will learn how to get more specific or broad.  Alright, gotta run find "A Band of Dirty Pirates" for my daughter! 
Happy Reading!
