One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is getting a front row seat to my kids learning. Teaching Jacob how to read and then seeing that love of reading just explode has been incredibly rewarding. He loves to read and I am just thrilled by it. He has moved up to a fourth grade reading level and he is PUMPED. We spent a whole afternoon switching out the books on his bookshelf and he is so excited to dive into ALL of them {click HERE to read about my favorite library app that keeps us organized}. I have never been so happy that we chose years and years ago to invest in our own family library.
But before we moved on, I asked Jacob what his FAVORITE books were. So here is Jacob’s favorite picks for third grade level reading.
