SECOND GRADE* Don't Miss It!- Challenging but worth it!

Read Aloud

Pantheon edition Grimm’s Fairy Tale intro. By Padraic ColumJacobs, Joseph English Fairy TalesLang, Andrew Red Fairy Book and othersBesterman, Catherine The Quaint and Curious Quest of Johnny Longfoot, the Shoe

King's SonBurgess, Thornton *Old Mother West Wind and series.

These are well written, delightful books. Most children don’t tire of them, so will enjoy having them read aloud and then may still read them themselves later.

Carlson, Natalie The Happy Orphelines and series.Grahame, Kenneth *The Wind in the WillowsHoban, Russell *The Frances books--Bedtime for Frances and othersLindgren, Astrid *The Children of Noisy Village and others

She has written many great books, but they are not all for young children. It is always a good idea to read a book yourself

first.MacDonald, George The Light Princess

*The Princess and the GoblinsCurdie and the Princess--Read this one first; it can be too much

for some 7 or 8 year olds.Milne, A.A. *Winnie the Pooh

*The House at Pooh CornerPotter, Beatrix All of them.Pyle, Howard *Pepper and Salt

*Wonder ClockStreatfield, Noel Ballet Shoes and others.Wilder, Laura Ingalls *the Little House books

These books coincide well with the 3rd grade curriculum. Farmer Boy is often used as a reader in that class, but many children love them so much that if you read them aloud now, be sure to encourage them to read them themselves later.

Poetry is a good choice, also. There are good collections available. Check the School Store and the Library for ideas, including the following:

ReadingPicture books are still good! Go through favorites; maybe your beginning reader would like to read them for a younger sibling or friend. As their skills improve they may enjoy re-reading familiar stories. Don’t forget about Fairy Tales, Elsa Beskow, Tomie de Paola or Robert McCloskey. The Library and Store also have ideas for you.

- Challenging but worth it!

A) The following books are easier reading than the second (B) list. However, if your child hasn’t read these, don’t pass them by just because they are easier. They are still enjoyable to children this age.

their world and is told in their own style.Coatsworth, Elizabeth *The Secret

*The Littlest HouseThese are probably still out of print. Some of the writers of the 30's through the 50's are being rediscovered. Elizabeth Coatsworth

is worth it, but as far as I know, only her Newbery winner is still in print.Credle, Ellis Down, Down the MountainDalgliesh, Alice Ride On the WindDeAngeli, Marguerite Skippack SchoolDolch Readers-- Excellent books, but out of print. Three titles have been

made into readers for the Third grade. There are also some in the Library and are worth picking up if you come across them in used bookstores. Some titles are:

She loves the natural world as well as children and wrote something like 90 children’s books. I would recommend any you can find, but read them first to get an idea of an appropriate age. The last time I checked, all but her Newbery winner, The Cat Who Went to Heaven, were out of print. Happy hunting!
