If you have 3rd graders, these chapter book recommendations may be for you.
At the beginning of each new school year we give our kiddos reading lists that have been hand-picked by my husband and I to encourage a love of reading and aid in the learning process.
We take into consideration each kiddos' interests and abilities to ensure success.
Bulldozer's reading list this year is one of my favorites.
We included books from series we have read aloud that he can continue on his own.
Bulldozer loves comedy and so you'll find a few funny choices here. He also loves adventure, especially if it includes a natural disaster.
The books are in no particular order.
Bulldozer will be required to read twelve out of twenty books by the end of the school year.
If he finishes twelve and would like to read more he is always welcome.
He will also complete a book report about each book.
To ensure the kiddos are provided time to read we have "rest and reading time" every afternoon after lunch.
The kiddos all go to their rooms for an hour.
They can choose to take a nap or read silently.
Sunshine almost always takes a nap but the other kids love to read.
Here is Bulldozer's reading list for this year!
