Jann in TX Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 but she is ready to move on to a higher level... Any fun suggestions of books or a series that I might be able to persuade her to try? It has been way too long since my other dds were on this level. Jann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 During that time I kept reading her more complicated books with higher reading levels, as well as harder picture books. When she got tired of MTH, she started to read for herself the Ramona books that we had read her over and over. After that she read LWW, which we had also read her over and over, and after that I lost track--she became avid and read everything. The Ramona books are little harder than MTH so they present a bit more challenge--they were the perfect next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 my daughter loved Geronomo books. She also started reading American girl books about this time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcmehl Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Here are some ideas that my DD went to after MTH: -I second the American Girl doll books -The Moody Family Children Books (available through http://www.titus2.com/moody-series/index.php, about daily life in a Christian homeschool family, written by a homeschool graduate) -The Boxcar Children (to get her excited about a series, try the first book on audio...that is what got my DS finally reading them) -Dragonology Chapter Books (There are only two, but she loved them.)

Wee Pip Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 A nice bump up from Magic Tree House are these 2 series by Kate McMullan: Dragon Slayer Academy (18 or 19 books total) & Myth-o-mania Books (8 total) They are slightly longer, slightly more involved & less repetitious plots than Magic Tree House.

moki4 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Great Illustrated Classics (abridged of course). We love them here, that is until age 10 or so...when they can read unabridged (selective books)! good luck:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
