The Best Leveled Books from Scholastic Reading Club
Why is it so difficult to find books that kindergarten students can actually read? When school starts up in the fall, I always tell my classroom parents at curriculum night that the best source of age-appropriate reading material is Scholastic Book Orders. Not only does Scholastic Reading Club offer the best prices around, but they are often the only place I can find books for my emergent readers. You know what I mean: the kind of books with big print, only 1 sentence on each page, and lots of repetition.
I recently cashed in my bonus points to purchase some new leveled reading materials for my classroom. I ordered my go-to favorite books and took a chance on some new series. I know how disappointing it can be to order books that you think will be a perfect fit for your students, only to realize that they are too difficult, have too small of print or are just plain not interesting enough for kids to read. I also know that extra cash (or bonus points) for classroom books is a valuable commodity that teachers do not like to waste.
Take a peek at some of new titles I added to my classroom library. I took plenty of photos to give you an inside peek so you can make an informed decision about whether or not these titles are a good fit for your students.

Where to Find Book Level Information from Scholastic Reading Club
Before I dive in to show you my recent purchases, let’s take a second to talk about reading levels. There are multiple systems for leveling books. The most common systems are Lexile (LEX), Guided Reading Level (GRL) and Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA). Different schools use different types of assessments to determine their students’ reading levels. In my classroom, I assess using the DRA system, but I label the books in my library using Guided Reading Level Labels.
You can find a reading level equivalency chart here.
Scholastic does not provide reading level information for every book they sell in Scholastic Reading Club, but they do share the reading level of some books. You can find the reading level in small text at the bottom of a listing in the catalog and below the price of a book if you are shopping online.
I really wish that Scholastic would provide a reading level for every book that they publish and carry in Scholastic Reading Club. I also wish they offered a book order catalog that only contained Guided Reading Levels A-D so I could easily shop for my kindergarten classroom library, but that is a different blog post for a different day. For now, I just have to skim the book order for my desired reading levels. There are usually 2-4 items offered in each flyer.
Guided Science Readers™ from Scholastic (A-D)
When I order books from Scholastic, I almost always purchase the latest set of Guided Science Readers.
They usually offer new titles seasonally and I scoop them up every chance I get.
First off, these little books are a gold mine in part because they are non-fiction. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you know how essential nonfiction texts are to curriculum, especially when it comes to the Common Core. Not only is it important to expose children to as many nonfiction texts as possible, but children happen to love nonfiction. Especially about animals. They are intrigued by photos and facts and often want to learn as much as possible.
Usually, however, there is a downside to nonfiction texts. They are often much more difficult to read. And the very topic that would otherwise inspire a love of reading can easily break a child down because it is simply too much of a challenge for a beginning reader to take on.
With Guided Science Readers™, however, that is not the case! Interesting nonfiction topics that are easy to read for all kindergarten students makes these books the best of both words.
This particular pack, like many other Guided Science Reader sets from Scholastic, contained a variety of books from Guided Reading Level A-D.
Level A Text Features
The Guided Reading Level A texts feature short sentences with plenty of picture support and a lot of repetition. The text is presented in a nice, big print that is easy for students to point to and maintain focus. The short sentence are also loaded with critical sight words for young readers. These Level A texts are perfect for building reading confidence – which is exactly what my kindergarten students that are a Level A need!
I happily added these books to the “Level A” basket of my classroom library.
Level B Text Features
The Level B books included in this pack of Guided Science Readers also contained the same great picture support, sight words, simple sentence structure and repetition. Two lines of text are presented on each page to provide just enough of a challenge for readers, while still allowing them to build confidence and feel the excitement of success while reading.
Level C Text Features
Children reading at a Level C are ready to initiate problem solving strategies to solve unknown words and these texts mix in a few sentence with unpredictable words and sentence patterns. These added challenges are balanced out with some sentence and sight word repetition so children don’t feel overwhelmed by the challenge. You may also notice that the print in the level C books is a little smaller than it was in the level B books.
Level D Text Features
For my more advanced kindergarten readers, Level D books are a great fit! These Guided Science Readers offer smaller text with longer sentences. I love how these books even used nonfiction text features to illustrate key words and concepts. It’s a great way to introduce these features in a way that is accessible to all children.
Guided Science Readers Levels E and F
Before this year, I had only seen Guided Science Readers available in Levels A-D.
I think Scholastic must realize how much classroom teachers love these books because I was overjoyed to discover that they offered a pack of Levels E and F this fall!
These books were the same great text format that my students love, with small added challenges for more advanced readers.
After several years of stocking up on Scholastic books, I have actually built up a significant stock of Level A-D texts for my classroom library but my box of Level E books is somewhat limited. These were a great addition to the collection.
National Geographic Kids™ Sight Words Box Set
While I absolutely adore my Guided Science Readers, I am always looking to expand my nonfiction book collection and provide a greater variety of nonfiction books in my classroom library. I took a chance and ordered the National Geographic Kids™ Sight Word Box Set. They have a Guided Reading Level of C-F, which meant they had potential for my higher readers.
Each book in the set clearly labeled which sight words were featured inside.
The texts seemed like they would be a great fit for my Level C-F readers and I really liked that the featured sight words are in bold on each page.
You can see from the photo above and the one below that there was a repetitive pattern to the text. This was “book 2” in the set, so I’m sure it was a Level C (other books were more challenging) but it seemed to be an accurately labeled as a Level C text.
I Can Read! Penguin Young Readers Pack Levels B-D
Leveled fiction texts are always easier to come across on Scholastic. I had never purchased any Penguin Young Readers books, but I took a chance and ordered the I Can Read! Level B-D Pack.
The books varied in difficulty but they were pretty good. The text wasn’t over-the-top interesting (it rarely is for books that are easy to read), but these little books did the best they could.
I was particularly happy to see this book in the collection that used speech bubbles and simple print.
I’m guessing this was a Level B text. It was a sweet book and this student loved it.
Just- Right Readers Community Pack (A-C)
The Just-Right Readers Community Pack appeared to be a good fit for my early readers as well. Fiction stories may not be as engaging as non-fiction, but this pack was about community helpers and many kindergarten students love reading about community helpers.
Even though the pack said it was for children reading as low as a Level A, I definitely could not see how any of my lowest kindergarten readers would be successful reading these books. This was one of the easiest books in the set and those sight words (write, with, our) were just too hard. I could see my children reading one difficult sight word, but three tough ones in the same sentence? It wasn’t going to work with my students that really struggle.
While I would hesitate to classify these books as a Level A in my own classroom library, I would agree that the books were a good fit for Level B and Level C readers.
Sofia the First Reader Box Set
For the final set of books that I purchased, I may have actually lost my mind a little. I never purchase character books from Scholastic. Ever. Not even when they come in a boxed set that says “sight words” or “phonics” because the words that are integral to any famous animated character storytelling are too difficult for most kindergarteners to read independently.
Do kindergarteners love books featuring their favorite characters? Absolutely.
Can a kindergarten student read those beloved character books independently? Probably not.
I invest in books for my library that are leveled and likely to help my students be successful when they read. Character books usually do not accomplish this task. Which is why I have no idea what compelled me to purchase the Sofia the First Reader Box Set.
In all honesty, I don’t have a clue who Sofia is. I recognize the three fairies from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty so I can only assume that Sofia is some sort of spin-off.
I think I purchased this set because I was feeling very hopeful when I saw that some of the books were classified as Level A. Character books are motivating and I would be thrilled to find character books that my students can actually read.
Some of the books made me think that it might be possible for my students to have success. Like this one with the simple sentence “I am a friend”. I wish the print were bigger, but at least the text isn’t too much of a challenge.
This book appears to be a Level B text. Ok, not too bad…
And then I opened up a few more books. Ugh. I know that savvy readers who love Sofia could probably figure out that the long word that starts with a w is Whatnaught (whom I can only assume is a widely known Sofia character). But my low readers who might not be so savvy? They might immediately be intimidated by that crazy looking word.
And then there was the word headmistress. Sigh.
These would be great stories for a parent to read to a child at bedtime (and the child could learn the challenging words after hearing them read several times) but I’m not convinced that they were the best purchase for my classroom library.
I’ll add them to my book leveled book boxes and see what happens.
Straight Talk About Leveled Books
I am so happy to add all of these new titles to my classroom library, but I was a little disappointed with the level identification. Of this entire collection, only one set of books was easy to determine the exact reading level: the Scholastic Guided Readers. They clearly displayed the book level right on the front cover. The other books were all listed as range of reading levels, but it was impossible to easily identify the reading level of individual books in the set. Typically, I would just scan the books with one of the book leveling apps on my iPhone, but sadly every book that I attempted to scan said that book level information was not available. I was pretty disappointed that books I ordered from Scholastic were not indexed in Scholastic’s Book Wizard app. I hope that they update their database soon with more information about the books they sell in Scholastic Reading Club.
If you want to know more about the tools I use to level my classroom library, you can read all about it in this blog post.
Increase Parent Purchases from Scholastic Book Orders
One of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to stock up a classroom library is through Scholastic Reading Club. It’s even better when you can cash in bonus points to get those books for FREE. This blog post has all my best tips to help you boost parent orders from Scholastic Reading Club. The more parents purchase, the more you can build your own library. It’s win-win.

My own kindergarten classroom library is filled with books from Scholastic. The library got a big makeover this year. You can see all of the details of how I organized the library in this blog post.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: When I first wrote this post, I believed that predictable leveled texts were the smart choice when finding reading material for brand new readers. After a great deal of study, I now understand that early readers need explicit phonics instruction accompanied by decodable text. The guided reading levels do not line up well, because most of the early books rely primarily on picture support.
I will leave this post here, but please know that my top recommendation for our earliest readers is quality decodable text. Feel free to send me a message via the Contact tab if you’d like more information!
When a parent approaches one of our librarians for books that his/her new reader can read, the librarian points the parent to the “Easy Reader” section.
That poor parent is left to search through hundreds of books in all different series…
I Can Read.
Ready to Read.
Hello Reader.
Step into Reading.
Brand New Readers.
Ack!
After the initial overwhelm, the parent finally finds a “level 1” book that might work. Encouraged, s/he finds a “level 1” book in another series, only to discover that it is much too hard.
If you’ve been in this situation before, you have my sympathy.
Wouldn’t it be nice it someone would tell you which easy reader books really
are easy… and which ones should wait a while?I have good news! Today I’m going to do EXACTLY THAT.
In this post I’ll rate the quality of popular easy reader series. Then I’ll compare them to grade levels and guided reading levels. You can even grab a free printable comparison chart at the end of this post!
For a point of reference, this is how average grade levels compare to guided reading levels …
- Kindergarten – Levels A-D
- First Grade – Levels E-J
- Second Grade – Levels K-M
- Third Grade – Levels N-P
- Fourth Grade – Levels Q-S
About this series: Brand New Readers are cute stories featuring fun characters.
UPDATE: I will keep these in the list, but I no longer recommend these for beginning readers because readers will have to rely heavily on picture cues to “read” the words.
Reading levels: Brand New Readers come in a single level, and the books roughly correspond to guided reading levels C-E.
Sample titles:
- Beeper and Honk, by Carole Lexa Schaefer – guided reading level C
- Monkey’s Loose Tooth, by David Martin – guided reading level C
- Worm boxed set, by Kathy Caple – guided reading levels B-D
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
About this series: I am super impressed with Penguin Young Readers! The books are high quality with wonderful variety of stories and illustrations in both fiction and nonfiction.
These books also follow a very logical order in terms of difficulty (which is more than I can say for most of the series in this list).
They even have the guided reading level of each book listed on the back.
Best for: Level 1 is great for new readers in kindergarten and early first grade. Level 2 is a good level for advanced kindergarten readers and average first grade readers. Level 3 is good for mid to late first grade through second grade, and Level 4 is ideal for third and fourth grade.
Sample titles:
Level 1 (guided reading levels C-E)
- Max Finds an Egg, by Wiley Blevins -guided reading level C (Blevins is an example of an author who can tell a good story while using decodable text – double win!!)
- Max Has a Fish, by Wiley Blevins – guided reading level D
Level 2 (guided reading levels F-I)
- Pig and Pug, by Laura Marchesani – guided reading level F
- We Need More Nuts, by Jonathan Fenske – guided reading level G
- The Cow in the House, by Harriet Ziefert- guided reading level I
Level 3 (guided reading levels J-M)
- Fox on Stage, by James Marshall – guided reading level J
- Young Cam Jansen, by David Adler – guided reading level J
- Jackie Robinson He Led the Way, by April Jones Prince – guided reading level K
Level 4 (guided reading levels N-R)
- Amistad, by Patricia McKissack – guided reading level R
- Sacajawea: Her True Story, by Joyce Milton, – guided reading level N
- I am Rosa Parks, by Rosa Parks – guided reading level O
Viking Easy-to-Read series
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
About this series: This series is very similar in quality to the Penguin Young Readers books, although the leveling system is different.
You won’t find too many books in this series; I did some searching, and I’m not sure they’re still being printed.
Sample titles:
Level 1 (guided reading levels E-I)
- Tiny’s Bath, by Cari Meister – guided reading level F
- Ugly Duckling, by Harriet Ziefert – guided reading level H
Level 2 (guided reading levels H-K)
- Young Cam Jansen books – guided reading level J
- Willie’s Birthday – guided reading level J
Level 3 (guided reading level K)
- Cork & Fuzz – Short and Tall – guided reading level K
- Ant Plays Bear – guided reading level K
Puffin Easy-to-Read series
Level 1 Level 2
About this series: These look like quality books, but I couldn’t find very many of them.
I suspect that they’re being republished as Penguin Young Readers books. I couldn’t find enough Level 3 books to get data on the guided reading levels.
Sample titles:
Level 1 (guided reading levels C-I)
- Scat, Cats! by Joan Holub – guided reading level level C
- Shawn and Keeper, by Jonathan London – guided reading level I
- New House for Mole and Mouse, by Harriet Ziefert – guided reading level G
Level 2 (guided reading levels I-K)
- Ant Plays Bear – guided reading level K
- The Teeny-Tiny Woman, by Harriet Ziefert – guided reading level I
- Fox on Wheels – guided reading level J
Pre-Level 1 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
About this series: There are some really great books in the Ready-to-Read series, such as the ones pictured above, and a fair number of really junky ones (based on television shows or toys).
Be careful with the early levels. There isn’t always much phonics support, and if kids are reading primarily by memorizing the pattern or using the pictures, they’re not really reading.
As you can see above, Ready-to-Read has changed its branding quite a few times, which can be confusing. But they’re all part of the same series.
Pre-level 1 (guided reading levels B-H)
- Have You Seen My Cat? by Eric Carle – guided reading level B
- Go, Otto, Go!, by David Milgrim – guided reading level D
- Puppy Mudge books, by Cynthia Rylant – guided reading levels D/E
Level 1 (guided reading levels H-K)
- Katy Duck and the Secret Valentine, by Alyssa Satin Capucilli – guided reading level H
- The Greedy Python, by Eric Carle – guided reading level K
- Robin Hill School books, by Margaret McNamara – guided reading levels H-K
Level 2 (guided reading levels J-M)
- Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type, by Doreen Cronin – guided reading level M
- Annie and Snowball books, by Cynthia Rylant – guided reading level J
- Henry and Mudge books, by Cynthia Rylant – guided reading level J
Level 3 (guided reading levels N-R)
- Pinky and Rex books, by James Howe – guided reading level L
My First Hello Reader Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
About this series: I don’t think they still make Hello Reader books, but you’ll probably still find quite a few on your library’s shelves.
Overall, I’m impressed by their quality.
One annoying thing is that levels 1 and 2 have so much overlap that they’re basically the same level.
UPDATE: Be careful with the early levels. Often, the books require too much attention to pictures or context for students to be able to attend the print itself. Remember that we want our young readers’ attention to be on the words – yes, sounding them out – so that their brains can permanently store the words in their sight vocabulary.
Sample books
My First Hello Reader (guided reading levels D-E)
- The Pet that I want, by Mary Packard – guided reading level E
- The Ball Game, by Mary Packard – guided reading level E
- Who am I? by Nancy Christensen – guided reading level E
Level 1 (guided reading levels D-I)

Level 2 (guided reading levels F-I)
- The Cows are in the Corn, by James Young – guided reading level F
- The Day of the Bad Haircut, by Eva Moore – guided reading level H
- N-O Spells NO! by Teddy Slater – guided reading level I
Level 3 (guided reading levels J-K)
- The Blind Men and the Elephant, by Karen Backstein – guided reading level K
- A Girl Named Helen Keller, by Margo Lundell – guided reading level K
- Even Steven and Odd Todd, by Kathryn Cristaldi – guided reading level K
Level 4 (guided reading levels L-Q)
- Buddy: The First Seeing Eye Dog, by Eva Moore – guided reading level M
- Finding the Titanic, by Robert D.
Ballard – guided reading level Q - The Snack Attack Mystery, by Elizabeth Levy – guided reading level L
Scholastic Reader
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4About this series: For a company that is well known for publishing children’s books, Scholastic hasn’t done the best job with its easy reader series. Levels 2 and 3 have a ton of overlap and are basically the same level. Plus, there’s a wide variety of difficulty within a single level. They should really have made this a 5-level system.

(As a side note, it seems that Scholastic has transitioned its Hello Reader books into this system.
)
A good thing about this series is you should be able to find a lot of them, as they’re still being published. Also, the stories are mostly good.
Sample books
Level 1 (guided reading levels C-J)
- Buzz Said the Bee, by Wendy Lewison – guided reading level G
- Pizza Party, Grace Maccarone – guided reading level F
- Bats, by Lily Wood – guided reading level J
Level 2 (guided reading levels H-O)
- Two Crazy Pigs, by Karen Nagel – guided reading level I
- Magic School bus Arctic Adventure, by Gail Herman – guided reading level M
Level 3 (guided reading levels J-O)
- Penguins, by Kate Waters, guided reading level M
- Poppleton in Winter, by Cynthia Rylant – guided reading level J
- A Girl Named Helen Keller, by Margo Lundell – guided reading level K
Level 4 (guided reading levels M-Q)
- Buddy the first seeing eye dog, by Eva Moore – guided reading level M
- Finding the Titanic, by Robert D.
Ballard – guided reading level Q - A Dinosaur Named Sue, by Fay Robinson – guided reading level P
- Five Brilliant Scientists, by Lynda Jones – guided reading level Q
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
About this series: I Can Read has been around for a long time. At one point they must have decided to start assigning levels to each of their books like the other easy reader series were doing. BUT … they forgot to change the actual difficulty of the books!
This is crazy, but even though “I Can Read” has four levels, they’re all basically the same! Yep. Here’s how it breaks down. Level 1 is pretty much guided reading levels J-L. So is level 2. And so is level 3! Level 4 is only slightly different, with guided reading levels L-M.
The stories are mostly good, but obviously they’re only a good fit for a small window.
Best for: All four levels are for kids in late first grade through mid-second grade.
Sample books
Level 1 (guided reading levels J-L)
- Fancy Nancy Sees Stars, by Jane O’Connor – guided reading level L
- Danny and the Dinosaur – by Syd Hoff – guided reading level J
Level 2 (guided reading levels J-L)
- My Weird School books, by Dan Gutman – guided reading level J
- Long, Tall Lincoln, by Jennier Dussling – guided reading level L
- Frog and Toad are Friends, by Arnold Lobel – guided reading level K
Level 3 (guided reading levels J-L)
- Minnie and Moo books, by Denys Cazet – guided reading level J
- Josefina story quilt, by Eleanor Coerr – guided reading level L
- The Golly Sisters Go West, by Betsy Byars – guided reading level K
Level 4 (guided reading levels L-M)
- First Flight, by George Shea – guided reading level K
- The Animal Rescue Club, by John Himmelman – guided reading level J
Level 1 Level 2
About this series: Technically, the Let’s Read and Find Out series isn’t advertised as an early reader series.
But I love these books and wanted to make sure you see them!
These are high quality science books for kids.
Best for: Level 1 is for kids in second grade. Level 2 is for kids in second and third grade.
Sample books
Level 1 (guided reading levels K-M)
- Nest full of Eggs, by Priscilla Belz Jenkins – guided reading level M
- From Seed to Pumpkin, by Wendy Pfeffer – guided reading level K
Level 2 (guided reading levels L-P)
- Let’s Go Rock Collecting, by Roma Gans – guided reading level L
- Germs Make Me Sick, by Melvin Berger – guided reading level O
National Geographic Kids
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
About this series: National Geographic Kids books are high quality nonfiction. But you should know that the whole series is only good for kids in second through early fourth grade.
Best for: Level 1 is for second grade. Level 2 is for second and third grade. Level 3 is for third and fourth grade.
Level 1 (guided reading levels K-L)
- Seed to Plant, by Kristin Baird Rattini – guided reading level K
- Trains, by Amy Shields – guided reading level L
Level 2 (guided reading levels K-O)
- Alligators and Crocodiles, by Laura Marsh – guided reading level K

Level 3 (guided reading levels O-Q)
- Deadliest Animals, by Melissa Stewart – guided reading level P
- Cats vs. Dogs, by Elizabeth Carney – guided reading level O
Step into Reading
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
About this series: There are some good books in this series, but you will have to sort through a lot of junky TV and movie-based books to find them.
I don’t like how much overlap there is in difficulty from levels 1-2.
Best for: Level 1 is for kids in kindergarten through mid-first grade. Level 2 is for first grade. Level 3 is for late first grade through mid-second grade. Level 4 is for late second grade through mid-third grade. It has a level 5, but I couldn’t find more than a couple of books for that level.
Sample books
Level 1
(guided reading levels D-H)- I like Fish, by Margaret Wise Brown – Level E
- Big Egg, by Molly Coxe – E
- I Like Bugs, by Margaret Wise Brown – Level E
Level 2 (guided reading levels E-J)
- Wake up, Sun! by David L. Harrison – guided reading level E
- Shampoodle, by Joan Holub – guided reading level J
- Five Silly Fishermen, by Roberta Edwards – guided reading level G
Level 3 (guided reading levels I-L)
- Arthur Loses a Friend, by Marc Brown – guided reading level K
- Hungry, Hungry Sharks, by Joanna Cole – guided reading level L
- Little Lucy, by Ilene Cooper – guided reading level K
Level 4 (guided reading levels L-O)
- Joan of Arc, by Dan Andreasen – guided reading level N
- Soccer Sam, by Jean Marzollo – guided reading level M
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
About this series: The stories are good, and I like that there isn’t much overlap in difficulty between the levels.
The guided reading level is printed on the back of each book.
UPDATE: Be careful with the early books. I don’t recommend using them if you notice that your child will need to use picture or context clues to “read” most of the words.
Sample books
Level 1 (guided reading levels A-F)
- Big Pig and Little Pig, by David McPhail – guided reading level D
- What I See, by Holly Keller – guided reading level A
Level 2 (guided reading levels F-K)
- Catch me If You Can, by Bernard Most – guided reading level F
- Digger Pig and the Turnip, by Caron Lee Cohen – guided reading level G
- George and Martha, the Best of Friends, by James Marshall – guided reading level L
Level 3 (guided reading levels K-L)
- Iris and Walter books, by Elissa Haden Guest – guided reading level K
DK (Dorling Kindersley) Readers
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
About this series: DK Readers has changed its branding a number of times, which can be confusing.
DK Eyewitness Readers are the same thing. These are fine nonfiction books, although I often feel that there is too much happening on a single page.
I really don’t like that books within a single level have such a wide variety of difficulty. Level 2 spans ten guided reading levels!
Best for: Level 1 is for kids in late first grade through the middle of third grade. Level 2 is for late first grade through fourth grade. Level 3 is for third and fourth grade. Level 4 is for fourth and fifth grade.
Sample books
Level 1 (guided reading levels I-O)
- Lego the Batman Movie: Team Batman, by Beth Davies – guided reading level N

Do I need to read books from the school list "for summer"
Ekaterina Andreevna, the most interesting thing is that the texts in these lists intersect. For example, Aksakov's "Scarlet Flower" is given both after the first and after the third grade. Why?
Ekaterina Asonova : Let's start with the fact that lists for the summer are illegal. There is no mandatory summer reading. There are exemplary recommendations, and each teacher has his own. Summer reading is primarily about pleasure, about freedom, and a little bit about "don't forget the letters." It is important with what words the teacher gives the list of literature: "I will ask", "I will check the reader's diary", "read something of your choice".
By the way, often the initiators of the lists for the summer are the parents themselves. I know this because I worked at the school myself. Their anxiety can be understood: for nine months the child was constantly busy and suddenly - summer, freedom, the schedule was knocked down. It seems that the summer reading list will organize a long summer day. But then it would be nice to have the names of movies, board games, and places to travel on this list. And the books should be in all subjects - from poetry to the determinant of plants.
Some schools offer to read texts from the program of the next academic year during the holidays. What for?
Ekaterina Asonova : This is what happens when a summer reading list is compiled to unload school days. But this, unfortunately, is a trap: as experience shows, it does not get easier. Those who find reading difficult do not remember well in January what they read in July. However, there is a nuance: in high school, given our realities and the congestion of the school curriculum, it still makes sense to read some texts in advance.
It is important, in principle, to read - what the child likes, so that independence develops, his own approach to choosing books.
What do you recommend?
Ekaterina Asonova : I would like to draw your attention to the fact that despite the abundance of texts, the modern school curriculum revolves only around realistic works, very carefully selected in Soviet times. There is not that literary diversity that our culture undoubtedly possesses. This is fiction literature, fantasy literature, fairy tales. Yes, in elementary school we offer them to children, and then they become kind of unimportant. This is not true. Fairy tale and fantasy, mythological culture is very rich, this is Harry Potter, and Alice in Wonderland - fantasy, new worlds. There are fairy tales where folklore Baba Yaga or Gorynych find themselves in new, modern circumstances: for example, in books written by Dmitry Yemets, Sergey Sedov, Anton Soya, Andrei Zhvalevsky and Evgenia Pasternak and many other authors.
Of course, the school cannot include this in the program, but it would be interesting and useful for children to read them.
For the summer, and just for "home" reading, I would choose the literature that will not be in school
In a word, for the summer, and just for "home" reading, I would choose the literature that will not be in school, including playful and ironic poetry by Artur Givargizov and Andrey Usachev, comics by Andrey and Natalya Snegirev. things can get past your child.0003
A reader's diary is a pain for many parents. Should it be done and how?
Ekaterina Asonova: In general, the ability to read independently and record something important for oneself is a good thing that will help the child in the future, when he will continue to study at the university. Of course, if we consider the diary only as answers to boring questions: "What is the story about?", "What is the character of the main character?", not a single child will want to fill it out.
