10 Perfect Read Aloud Books for 3rd Grade is my top post for 2015! It all happened when I went to Anne Ursu’s The Real Boy dinner hosted by publisher Charlesbridge and met Colby Sharp, a co-founder of the Nerdy Book Club blog. I was already a huge fan of this group blog.
Colby had just switched from teaching 4th grade to 3rd grade and we talked about our favorite read alouds for 3rd grade. It turns out our top three were identical and in the same order. My son was in 3rd grade at the time and his teacher coordinated her read alouds with the other two teachers in that grade. She too, had a made a grade switch that year like Colby, but from 5th to 3rd.
I tracked the read alouds all year and it was year of wonderful books. I then built lists for all elementary school grades, making sure not to repeat books from list to list.
There you have it! My Top 5 Post Countdown for 2015! Happy New Year’s Eve! Thank you all so much for reading my blog. I wish you a joyous New Year and hope to see you in 2016!
BEST #OWNVOICES CHILDREN’S BOOKS: My Favorite Diversity Books for Kids Ages 1-12 is a book that I created to highlight books written by authors who share the same marginalized identity as the characters in their books.
These are wonderful books! I have read most and have the others on my “to-read” list.
I’m so glad you like these books too MaryAnne! It was a fun list to make! I built all the other lists around this one.
Great article! Try our sing-a-long book as well! http://www.kidiokemedia.com
Thanks so much for sharing Kidioke Media! Sing-a-long books sound fun!
Great list! We are reading Wonder now and have read several of these this year. I’m adding the others to our list!
Thanks so much Erin! I’m so happy that you like my list!!! I love Wonder too! My son and I have read all her other books including 365 Days of Wonder and a bunch of short stories about the other characters. They were eBooks but now I think she combined them all into a book that is printed. The Julian story is mind blowing!
