I am calling this a list of “chapter books to read aloud to 3rd graders”, because my older son is 9 years old and is in (you guessed it) third grade. However, the books on this list certainly can be enjoyed by 2nd, 4th and 5th graders, as well as kids older and younger. I…

Read Aloud Chapter Books for 4 and 5 (and 6) Year Olds
My book lists are personal. I have two boys, ages 5 and 9 and I read to them. A lot. I choose their favorite books and I turn them into posts to share with you. I read these chapter books aloud over the past year when my youngest son was 4-turning-5 years old. My older son…

9 Books for 9 Year Olds
My 9 year old 3rd grader loves books. Simply put, he is a voracious reader. Truthfully, I can’t keep up with him. I love watching his reading progression and seeing him read longer and longer books and so this list of books for 9 year olds is a natural sequel to 8 books for 8 year…

Last week I shared my favorite picture books to give as gifts but I don’t want to neglect older kids! Giving your child the gift of…

8 Books for an 8 Year Old Boy (or Girl!)
It’s hard to believe I’m writing about books for 8 year olds! Time files. My oldest son is in that nebulous place between “early chapter books” and “middle grade fiction.” Middle grade books are generally aimed at kids ages 8 to 13 but that doesn’t mean every book is age appropriate or able to capture…

Chapter Books That Stayed With Me
If someone were to ask me which chapter books I read as a child I could probably sit down make you a list of more than a hundred books, but if you were to ask me which ones were memorable, which ones sit in my memory still, the list would be much shorter. With one…

Mom’s Bookshelf, Vol. 6, J FIC Edition
I quite like to peruse the J FIC section of the library for my own purposes. So many good books that are supposedly just for children? Such nonsense. There are many benefits to reading so-called “kid books,” not least of which you can finish them rather quickly. I find that very satisfying and is probably…
