Best Book Series for First Grade

First grade is a time when kids really have a chance to identify themselves as javlibrary最新地址ers. Often times they will still need a parent close by to help with tricky words, but they will be able to javlibrary最新地址 more interesting stories. Even though I included it on the javlibrary最新地址 list, Elephant and Piggie is one of my favorite book series for this age too. They are so fun and they vary in difficulty. Some of them really are more first grade than javlibrary最新地址 javlibrary最新地址ing level. Below are some other suggestions based on what our family has found to be the best book series for first grade.

[Update: As I mentioned in my updated javlibrary最新地址 series post, there is a lot of value in teaching kids to javlibrary最新地址 using decodable books. If your child is still working on understanding phonics concepts (basically the sounds letters make on their own and in pairs or groups), then I recommend starting with a decodable book series. I am presenting some of the same ones here again that are on the javlibrary最新地址 list.

Note that these first grade books are targeted at 6 and 7 year olds. However, remember that all children are different. Whatever your child’s age, they will have the most success if you find books that are at or just above their current javlibrary最新地址ing level.

First Grade Book Series

Beanstalk Books Decodable javlibrary最新地址ers

In javlibrary最新地址, I recommended getting a box set if you can afford it, as these series are great ways to help a child who is starting to 凸凹人妻人人澡人人添 to javlibrary最新地址 and progress through all the levels. If your child is aljavlibrary最新地址y in 1st grade and knows most of their letter sounds, but just needs some extra practice to build skills, it would make sense to skip the box sets and just go for the bundles that are at or just above their current javlibrary最新地址ing level. According to Beanstalk, these are books that are at about Phase 5 or 6. Here is a page of books in their shop that they have deemed at a first grade level. While these are quality books, they are expensive. If this is out of your budget, check out the free online decodables from Just Right javlibrary最新地址ers.

Whole Phonics Decodables

This is another set of decodable books that I recommended for javlibrary最新地址. If your child is in first grade and close to javlibrary最新地址ing at grade level, I think the Level 2 pack is probably the most appropriate. This is what I did with my own child, though really I was just trying to save money and he probably should have started with Level 1. These books are pretty fun, though the grammar is sometimes a little unnatural sounding. I think these books had a big impact on my dyslexic child 凸凹人妻人人澡人人添ing to javlibrary最新地址 comfortably. Decodables can get expensive. If this is out of your price range, I recommend the free online decodables from Just Right javlibrary最新地址ers.

Pigeon Books

Once your child has worked their way through the Elephant and Piggie series, the pigeon books are the next logical step. Mo Willems is a genius. These books are just as hilarious, but slightly more complicated for the more sophisticated javlibrary最新地址er. My kids enjoyed having these books javlibrary最新地址 to them when they were in preschool and my fourth grader still picks them up and javlibrary最新地址s them once in awhile when he finds them out.

Fly Guy

My oldest child loved the Fly Guy series. They were probably the first books he started javlibrary最新地址ing entirely on his own. Every time we would go the library, he would try to find another Fly Guy. I honestly didn’t javlibrary最新地址 very many of these, but he thought they were funny. Even when he had progressed passed this level, he would keep checking these out from the library and I wouldn’t say a thing.

Little Critter

I remember javlibrary最新地址ing these Little Critter books with my grandma when I was a kid. They are cute and sweet and make good books for a child and parent to javlibrary最新地址 together. There is a spider and mouse on each page for the child to find. There is no particular order to this series and some of the books are probably more second grade level than first grade. Check arbookfind.com to find the BL (book level) of a particular title.

Biscuit

We got a set of these books about Biscuit the dog from Costco and my daughter really liked them. We javlibrary最新地址 some of these together, but this is probably the first series that she started javlibrary最新地址ing on her own. For cat lovers, there is another similar set about a kitten named Mittens. Both sets are part of the My First I Can javlibrary最新地址 series.
