Vera’s answer to “Is Judy Moody at a higher reading level than Junie B. Jones?” > Likes and Comments

Thank you very much, Vera! In my library, I was finding some overlap in the readership for both series. It certainly seemed to me that Judy Moody was a series for more advanced readers. I wonder if Junie B. is like comfort food for emerging readers: The language and narratives in Junie are like scaffolding for reading a more complex series like Judy Moody, so maybe emerging readers like to pair them. That's how it seems to work in my community, anyway.

Thanks again!

Thanks, this topic also really interests me, and I defiantly feel the same way about how emerging readers like to pair Judy Moody and Junie B. Thanks ;)
