Our Chapter Book Read Aloud Favorites

Building Memories Around Books

     Reading aloud to my children has been of the many joys of motherhood. I have always loved exploring different books with my children, whether it be board books, encyclopedias, comics, picture books, or chapter books. I distinctly remember my second-grade teacher reading Beverly Cleary’s books to the class. I used to be so excited to discover what the next chapter would bring. Thanks to my incredible teacher, I decided to do the same with our homeschool. When we first started we read the Frog and Toad books and later branched out to books like the Magic Tree House series or Charlotte’s Web. Today I’ll share a list of our favorite chapter books.
