My secret identity by ryan bartlett series#
The funny cartoonish illustrations make this story of stray dogs easy to read and very entertaining series for kids. Why is he called Stick Dog? Because our author/narrator can’t draw. The books are always about a young person trying to survive the book’s historically important, life-changing event such as Pompeii, the Titanic, Pearl Harbor, or the Battle of Gettysburg.

Wow - these are excellent, fast-paced adventures set during significant historical events. These are funny and fun to read, maybe even more than once. I recommend starting with book one since the stories are told in a specific order with details from previous stories. We’re loving these updated Babysitter’s Club graphic novels by the uber-talented Raina Telegemeier who wrote the highly-acclaimed Smile and Sister. Kristy’s Great Idea Babysitter’s Club #1 by Ann M. If you like a lot of silliness (including potty humor) with great messages about writing, creativity, and persistence, read this book next. Cat Kid teaches a class for the tadpoles about making your own comic books…which doesn’t go well until the tadpoles get excited about failure and get started writing and drawing. My writing teacher’s heart adores this book about encouraging kids to write their own comics! Plus, it’s totally hilarious. Dog Man solves crimes and has adventures, the likes of which will entertain 8-year-old readers for hours. In the first story, a police officer and a dog are joined together - the top from the dog, the bottom from the officer to make: Dog Man. I think all three describe this new graphic novel from the creator of Captain Underpants. Beautiful artwork with compelling characters and an adventurous plot make this a very popular hit with young readers. This popular graphic novel series is about two siblings trying to save their mom who was taken to an underground world of elves, demons, robots, and talking animals. Can you predict who will win? See all the informational books in the Who Would Win series. (Which just proves that reading comprehension happens in a little harder books if students are motivated!) In this book pitting two ocean carnivores against each other, you’ll learn facts about the sperm whale and the giant squid then read an imagined story where these two creatures face off. Giant Squid by Jerry Pallotta, illustrated by Rob Bolsterģrd grade teachers tell me that their students can’t get enough of the Who Would Win? books. Engaging from the first page - and the second book in the series is just as good. Besides finding the transporter, needs to find the missing dragon who was stolen by his best friend’s little sister. After a mishap, Jax must rescue Ma from the past and deliver the dragons to a magical world. When Jax’s mom drops him off with an irascible old lady named Ma, he learns that she helps magical animals travel between worlds like three baby dragons. BOX SETĭragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott, illustrated by Geneva B These chapter books are easy to read and fun to reread. Dink and his friends, Josh and Ruth Rose, must find out what happened. In this story, the famous writer that is coming to the bookstore doesn’t show up. I think my kids read most of the books in this series and several more than once. The A to Z Mysteries series rocks! None of the books need to be read in any particular order, each has a self-contained mystery. Need a book list that is slightly easier or harder? Try one of these:īest Books for 9-Year Olds Best Chapter Books for 8-Year-Olds (Third Grade)Ī to Z Mysteries: The Absent Author by Ron Roy Wholesome Beginning Chapter Books for Girls Ages 6 – 9 Wholesome Beginning Chapter Books for Boys Ages 6 – 9 This is a great way to spend time together and to read more difficult books. Kids still need to be read to and hear as much story and vocabulary as possible. TOO CHALLENGING? That being said, if you find a book that you think will be interesting but too challenging for your child, use it for a read aloud at bedtime. In fact, levels can inappropriately limit a child’s book choices. There is more wiggle room with what 3rd graders can comprehend than a particular reading level. (If there is no number listed, it’s because I didn’t find it’s Lexile level.)īut please don’t limit your 3rd grade kids to reading books exactly on their so-called reading level. The general reading levels for third grade are 330L to 770L according to the Lexile website. If this is helpful, you’ll see a number followed by an L. LEXILE: A reader recently asked me to include the Lexile reading levels of the books on this list. That’s why I’ve put together a list of all the books I’ve reviewed and recommend for 8- year-olds in third grade. I want your third grade 8- year-old boys and girls to have lots of good chapter books to read.
