What book should a 5 year old read?
When you give a mouse a cookie. I went to our public library this morning to watch The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. All they had were adapted versions. They said they were glad I pointed out they don’t have the original and will order it.
Your blog post has now made this book available to many more children 🙂 It goes without saying that you should keep reading picture books to your preschoolers and kindergarten teachers, but when your kids are ready, adding just the right chapter book can add a new dimension to your reading time. If your child is already reading some, you can purchase the next few sentences, Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners and Bob Books Set 3-word families. When kids come to kindergarten for the first time, they may need the confidence boost that the book provides on every slightly rhyming page.
The sense of achievement after a child has polished a Bob Book himself will be reflected in his massive grin. The book was first published in 1974, but is still ideal as a reading book for five and six-year-old children today. Thank you so much for this list of books. I’m constantly looking for interesting chapter books that I can read to my 5-year-old. Kids use their imagination to fill in the gaps, and this book is the rare one you’ll never get tired of reading aloud.
This book is part of a picture book series that includes Ada Twist, Scientist and Iggy Peck, Architect. This lovely book shows children that all living things deserve affection and that tigers, snakes and even porcupines are absolutely adorable. No matter what you call them, these are books with minimal text and picture notes that are perfect for beginners, just right for kids in kindergarten and first grade. Watch this video to see my top three choices for first-chapter books, and then scroll down to see another ten tips so you can pick just the right chapter book to read aloud to your 4-6 year olds.
Most of these books are higher than MTH, so you might find a better selection in my list of chapter books for preschoolers (there’s a link in the post above).
