What my boys are reading.

I am trying to do inventors biographies this year for my 7yr old’s school reading.

Considering we are only 3 weeks in and he has almost finished my book list this might not be possible!

There are some on the list that did not look as interesting in person as they did online so he is not reading those though.

He has really enjoyed learning about different inventors and it has helped him see things a totally different way!

These are some of my 5yr old’s books.

I did an online test at sonlight to make sure I was getting the right level and it put him at a 2nd grade reading level.

So these might be a little hard for some 1st graders.

readingHe is really liking the “Mouse and Mole” books!

They are cute to listen to also!

I will try to share a quick look into what we are reading throughout the school year.

I know how hard it is to find quality reading books for kids!

Chapter book series for 1st grade boys

I have mentioned before how much I want my boys to enjoy reading as much as I do.

With that in mind I try to keep them supplied with many books that will keep that fire going!

Here are some of our favorites.

1. Geronimo Stilton

My son eats these up!

He will finish one and then start it all over again.

The novels are written in a really fun way with lots of different fonts and a lot of colorful pictures.

They also have graphic novels that are written more like comic books and teach about different parts of history.

I love these!

2. Magic Tree House

My son and I really enjoy the Magic Tree house books.

We are pretty careful about introducing magic in our house so some of the later ones have a bit too much of that for me.

I do love how much they teach about history and different places in the world though.

The first twenty or so books are really light on the magic so those are my favorites.

3. Imagination Station Books

These are basically a Christian version of the Magic Tree House.

They are very similar but with the whole imagination station twist and a Christian perspective.

I buy every new one that comes out!

4. The Magic School Bus Chapter Books

I love anything that will teach and be entertaining at the same time so of course I love the magic school bus!!!

We also own all of the movies!

I am a little bit addicted!!!

There are many more good books out there but these are the main ones that make my little man really happy!

Unless of course it involves superheros…

This list is more about the books both of us really like I guess!

Hope this helps some of you!
