Reading Recommendations

Your children’s librarian and other library staff can help you find appropriate reading material for you child. Use this page for some ideas to get you started.

Reasons to Read a Series

  • Confidence Builder: when readers are already familiar with the characters and their "fictional world", they can focus on comprehension and reading stamina

  • Emotional and Critical Thinking: when readers follow common themes like friendship, fear, courage, and independence, they learn more about those ideas in their own lives

  • Increase skills for reading complex literature: when reading a series, they can gain understanding about how events build upon each other and impact later events
