More of First Son's Reading Lesson Books

Click here to see the first fifty books First Son read during our official reading lessons in kindergarten. Here are the final books for the "official" school year.
  1. Harry Hungry! by Steven Salerno
  2. Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper
  3. Let There Be Llamas! by Virginia Kroll
  4. The Kingfisher First Animal Encyclopedia (Kingfisher First Reference) (selected animals)
  5. The Truth about Bats (The Magic School Bus Chapter Book, No. 1) by Eva Moore
  6. The Wild Whale Watch (The Magic School Bus Chapter Book, No. 3) by Eva Moore (He read the second one, too, just not during our "school" time.)
  7. Katy and the Big Snow Book & CD  by Virginia L. Burton (which may have been on the earlier list)
  8. See How They Grow: Calf ed. Mary Ling
  9. Sea Horse: The Shyest Fish in the Sea by Chris Butterworth
Of course he's still reading like mad. I'm pleased to report we are nearing the end of the Magic Tree House series (as I'm getting a little tired of those myself), but we're still enjoying the Magic School Bus chapter books quite a lot. I even picked up a few used ones to own. Our reading has decreased a little with the advent of warm weather and lots of outside time, though I expect to be staying indoors more often in the near future. Nearing the end of a pregnancy in June and July makes air conditioning seem indispensable!
