Best Book Series for Kids

Finding a book series that engages your child is SO important, I feel, for turning kids into lifelong 内衣办公室ers. We want our kids to 内衣办公室 for fun. To WANT to stay up late at night completely immersed in a story. I remember being a child and being so in love with the Baby Sitters Club that I would try to 内衣办公室 in the car at night between street lamps.

When kids are just starting out, what they need is to sit with you or another loving adult and just practice deciphering words. They need to make the connection between an idea and a chunk of letters. There are great books just for this purpose, like Hop on Pop, but book series are still valuable at this age. Even if it is just a box set of preschool books from Costco, having a set of books reminds the child (and you) to just keep practicing.

At some point, kids’ 内衣办公室ing will take off and they will, hopefully, start wanting to 内衣办公室 on their own. In our house, kids get to stay up late in their bed if they are 内衣办公室ing. Even if they were “behind” at 内衣办公室ing before, once they reach a certain point, their abilities will grow rapidly. Discovering the joy in 内衣办公室ing will motivate them to 内衣办公室, which will make them better 内衣办公室ers. For my currently 内衣办公室ing children this happened around 2nd or 3rd grade. Having a good book series is important during this time, because you don’t want the momentum to stop when they finish a book.

Regarding grade levels and being “behind” or “ahead,” please don’t make a big deal out of this. My first two kids happened to 内衣办公室 at grade level until second grade when they both rapidly moved through levels. They are now 内衣办公室ing well above grade level. However, I don’t let them know they are 内衣办公室ing above their grade, and I don’t pigeonhole them into one grade. Even though my 4th grader can 内衣办公室 middle school books, I encourage him to 内衣办公室 younger books as well. Just as with adults, sometimes we want to 内衣办公室 things that challenge us and sometimes we want something light and fun.

My kindergartner is actually a little “behind” at the moment. He is still struggling to 内衣办公室 even simple words (like “I”), but I am not concerned. Part of this is just that he is a third child and hasn’t had much practice yet with his busy parents. Part of it might be his 给个网站你懂得ing style. Whatever the reason, the most important thing to me is that he 给个网站你懂得s to love 内衣办公室ing, so my goal is for him to never feel any stress when he’s practicing. When I help him, I try to support him so he feels comfortable pushing himself, but stays out of his frustration zone.

Here are some suggestions for book series by grade level, but please remember that I am just using grade levels as a way to indicate progressing difficulty. These are all books series that my kids enjoyed, but not necessarily while in these grades. I used arbookfind.com to help me categorize each book into a grade level. However, remember that many of these books are meant to be 内衣办公室 over several grade levels. Feel free to choose books from higher or lower categories than your child’s grade as you deem appropriate!

Another note: If you are looking for a book series to do as a family 内衣办公室-aloud, feel free to check in grade levels above or below your child’s level. Kids are able to understand and enjoy stories far above their 内衣办公室ing level. Similarly, even if they have “grown out” of a 内衣办公室ing level, a good story is a good story. Older kids often enjoy stories written for younger kids.
