1st Grade Reading List (Ages 6 – 7)
Don’t let your six and seven year olds forget all those reading skills learned in kindergarten or first grade. Here are the best books for beginning readers from the easiest books with a few words per page to beginning chapter books with a sentence per page. (For my kids, this was first grade but for some kids it’s kindergarten.)
Keep your kids reading lots and lots of books this summer vacation!
Remember to figure out those hard to read words with word attack strategies beyond the typical (and often useless) “sound it out.”
