Series for Second grade

Earlier this year Ms. Zbacnik shared a few series books she thought we would like.  I also talked with a few parents who were interested in helping their child find a good book or series that they could really get into and enjoy.  This gave me an idea.

Over the past few weeks I have been reading the first book, or the first few chapters in a book that is the first one in a series that is good for readers at the end of second grade or starting third grade.

For example, I read The World According to Humphrey and here are 7 more books in that series.  Many students are very interested in reading the rest of the books, in fact they are almost always checked out of the library.

I asked Ms. Zbacnik for a list of suggested titles and I did some research and came up with a list.  Mrs. Bachhuber also shared some suggestions for series during our library visit this week.  I will send the combined lists home through email.  By no means is this list comprehensive, and yet it give a good amount of books that you could check out.  Please know I have not read all of these books, so please use your own judgement when selecting books.

I encourage kids to read 20-30 minutes each day during the summer.  It is also good for kids to listen to good readers, so reading to your child is a wonderful way to share a good book.

I hope this give kids a great start to summer reading and will help them keep their skills sharp during our break.

Happy Reading!
