I Can Read’s Book Recommendations
The Team at I Can Read are often asked by parents which books are suitable for their children. And we love being asked this question as this is our area of expertise. If there is one thing we love its books.
We have thought long and hard about this list and the books below are provided as a sample of classic literature that our teachers adore and cherish. We have divided the books into age categories so you can be sure you are getting the most suitable book for your child. Remember with the younger ones, reading should be a joint activity. Also don’t forget that discovering new ideas and discussing themes is sometimes just as important as the reading itself. Make this part of the reading routine.
So check the list, get the books and happy reading to all the family.
