"The Jim Trelease Read Aloud Handbook", c. 2006, has great suggestions of titles for children indicating their listening level. Even if children have learned to read, there is always new vocabulary for them to acquire and choosing books above their functional reading level provides the opportunity to learn those new words. Many of the books are great for the whole family to listen to regardless of age. Read a new chapter for dessert each night while the family is gathered around the dinner table.
