EARLY READER CHAPTER BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS - great novels for beginner chapter books

[@tiffanymeyer6110]

When I was in elementary school we did a Flat Stanley unit and we read the book then we colored our own flat Stanley and then mailed it to different family,friends, etc and you ask that they would mail back flat Stanley with a letter telling of their adventures. My parents took him to Alaska and took pictures of his adventures and my cousin took him to a rodeo. He even made paper rodeo clothes and mailed him back with a letter about the adventures they went on. Just thought that might be a fun project with your kids :-)!

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

That's cool, I've heard of kids doing that in school here!

[@ItCameFromAVlog]

That's so cute.

So glad to have found your channel! What a super resource for parents, whether they are homeschoolers or not. I'm a grandmother, and I'm also a book publisher who focuses on wholesome middle grade books. It's always interesting to see what books people are interested in, and it's great to find ideas for the grandkids. Thanks!

Just watched Abby's video and decided to check out your video. I love the book suggestions. I will have to watch again so I can write some down. I definitely have to watch more of your videos.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Aww, thanks for stopping by!

[@eaganfamily5971]

Love these suggestions! I keep seeing The Kingdom of Wrenly books on Book Outlet and have contemplated buying them for my son. I might have to check them out! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Oh, I didn't realize they were on there! Let me know what you think of them!

[@eaganfamily5971]

@@IntentionalHomeschooling I will!!

[@bearhilladventures]

I knew I could count on you for some good early reader mysteries. Our library list just grew again! Thanks for the collab. We always love seeing what your family is up to!

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Thanks for suggesting this collab, it was fun to go through our early chapter books!

After 14 years of homeschooling, I’ve learned that my kids do not enjoy books about kids who are in public school, at all! They often tell me the kids are “mean, they lie, they disobey their parents, they gossip and spread rumors”, so I have just stopped bringing home any books in that category. I guess it makes sense, if I’m not sending my kids to public school, why would I want them to read all about it in books. But they have loved The Littles and Boxcar children and of course all of the Little House on the Prairie books. Betsy-Tacy is also great, Sarah Plain and Tall, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Homer Price, Mice of the Herringbone series, I could go on 🤣

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Those are some great ones that you mentioned, a lot of those we did as first read alouds!

[@WhimsicalFamilyLife]

We're not a fan of some of ones with kids when they get mean either. Unfortunately, it seems to be many of the ones focused on girls...rrrh

[@Clothmom1]

My 7-yr.-old loves “The Kingdom of Wrenly” books.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

That's great!

[@WhimsicalFamilyLife]

This is a great video, I would have loved to see this a year ago when I was trying to figure out the chapter book world:) My point is, many will appreciate this for sure! There's a couple of Third Grade Detectives on Book Outlet. Coincidentally, I had a video go up on Tuesday about a chapter book haul, which included a couple for girls that are on the easier reading spectrum.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Ooh, I may have to grab some of those Third Grade Detective books, thanks for the heads up! I'm looking forward to your video, it's been a few years since my daughter was in this stage so I'm excited to see what you have to share.

[@TheseDays]

Encyclopedia Brown is one I’ve wanted to check out for my kiddo! Love the focus on mysteries! ✨ also yes for thrift store book finds!

[@ItCameFromAVlog]

I'm adding so many of these to my list. This is great! Thank you for all the amazing content.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Sweet, I hope you enjoy them!

[@creatingcommunity7022]

Magic Tree House books are always great. We have The Third Grade Detectives in the pile for this year. Great books. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

I hope you enjoy The Third Grade Detectives!

[@rrichards1210]

Books that my daughter enjoyed included the Tales from Maple Ridge series, Zoey and Sassafras, Imagination Station, Mercy Watson, Bear Grylls Adventure and Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Ooh, thanks for sharing all those!

[@AshleasBookshelf]

I just checked out the first Greetings from Somewhere book to see if it interests my kids.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

I'm curious to hear what they think of the series!

[@TheseDays]

Found you through Bear Hill Family’s channel! Great read alouds! We’re going to be jumping into more of the magic treehouse books this year for my 2nd grader boy! Fellow youtuber here and new sub!

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@dorothy.k.]

My kids love the Princess in Black series. My 7 year old is reading through the Sophie Mouse series now, also The Last Firehawk series, which she is enjoying. Cobble Street Cousins by Cynthia Rylant is another sweet little series for this age. Thanks for the recs, definitely interested in checking out some of these for my daughter!

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Ooh, I'll check those out, thanks for sharing!

[@marissamoody7866]

Thanks for all your suggestions!!

[@sarafox3039]

Another series to check out that's similar to Magic Tree House is the Adventures in Odyssey Imagination Station Series.

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Yes, we love that one!

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

I have the Series Boxcar Children’s Series Books on my shelves and Magic Tree House Series Books on my shelves. I love both of these Series. I have not read all of the Books in the Two Series yet but I want to though. I think I will just get the rest of the Books from my Library. A lot of Good Recommendations of Third Grade Books ❤️ Take Care & Happy Reading ❤️🤗📚🔰📖❤️

[@monikakamila]

Like me and the babysitters club . Loved that series and loved the girls and wanted to read more and more

[@IntentionalHomeschooling]

Yes, me too!

[@MaryteRutkauskas]

'Hats for Hailey' is a new chapter book for kids about kindness and compassion.

[@roadiekillor8723]

if you want a fun chapter book for your kids you should try "charlie and halley break the story. " by R.K. Keandrick . my kids laughed themselves silly and will so did I when I read it.
