KID-APPROVED BOOKS
by Dean Kindig, The Harley School, Rochester NY
If reading is sort of tough for you, why not read better books, recommended by kids like you who have trouble reading fast or reading perfectly? I have added to this list each time a kid in my class or summer camp has recommended a cool book.
If your child has a book or series that was their favorite, contact me with the title and I’ll add it. If your child didn’t like one of these, let me know and I’ll delete it! Click on any book to see it in Barnes and Noble:
