ScoutTN Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Books my 3rd grader recommends: Half Magic My Side of the Mountain Freddie Goes to Florida Paddington Adam of the Road The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Homer Price The Centerburg Tales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanikit Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The 100-year-old secret (Tracy Barrett) - this is a series of 4 books 300 minutes of danger (My daughter likes high action - might recommend more for boys) The Magician's Nephew or The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe Any of the Roald Dahl Books My daughter devoured Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 2nd grade - not usually something I would recommend, but it kept her reading through a more resistant phase and helped her move on to other more typical chapter books, so she would recommend them Any of Alexander McCall Smith's children's books The shorter Michael Morpurgo books which pave the way for the longer ones Any Dick King Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Can people list of maybe 5-10 books for a 3rd grader to read. I want good books like charlottes web .. not magic tree house ;) Magic Tree House may not be deathless literature, but it's perfectly adequate for a child who is just starting to read chapter books. That same child would probably not be ready for Charlotte's Web. What books has your child been able to read thus far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingMama1214 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I ageee that it would help to know what your son has read so far. A few lists that I use have Charlotte's Web as a fourth grade book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
