I would buy based on age and not on reading ability. Using books at hte library is fine when they fit, but Carrie picks the books to be age appropriate. So, some of the extension books might be a little beyond what you would want a 4th grader to read (violence, etc). Also, reading in a content area is different than reading fiction for fun. It is a different skill, so I wouldn't push beyound his age in that area at all.
DITHOR would be were you would push a little (using his current reading level or slightly lower), and then for free reading use his current reading level as well.
