Early Elementary: Six, Seven and Eight Year Olds
Children learn so much during the first few years of elementary school – especially when it comes to reading. These are the years when many children become independent readers and transition from picture to chapter books. Reading on his own will open up the world for your child, but reading as a family is important, too. At Richland Library we believe you are never too old to enjoy a good book read aloud!
Visit the library to find books for your school age children to read AND great books to enjoy together as a family. Some of our favorites are listed below. Happy Reading!
