Best Early Elementary Book Series (ages 6 - 8)

As a teacher and parent, I just love recommending book series. Why? Because once a child finds a book they like, there are lots more to read in the series. This takes away the “what to read next” conundrum that can inhibit daily reading.

Kids like series because there’s a familiarity of characters and sometimes plot structure. From an education standpoint, this is hugely beneficial to growing readers.

Read how predictable book series benefit beginning readers.

Once you can get kids hooked on a good book series, it can keep them reading for months.

Adults call this binge reading.

Binge reading a great goal for our kids, too.

Hopefully, children will also be reading for longer hours each day because the books are just too good to put down.
