This is Benjamin’s first year doing formal read alouds and we are so excited! It’s such a special time and I can’t wait to do it with him. Many of these books are picture books and can be read in one sitting – but there are some early chapter books sprinkled in – that have lots of pictures! We are planning on reading the Billy and Blaze series, but we have a couple other series that if Ben is interested in, we can do. Such as the Tales from Maple Ridge series and the Imagination Station series. Here is our list for the year:
