We recommend that you help your child pick a just-right book for reading at home. You can contact your child's case manager to obtain his/her independent reading level. Next, visit the Lucy Welles Library and consult with the librarians. They are extremely helpful and can identify which books or series would be just-right based on your child's independent reading level.
It is okay for your child to read within one genre when you are trying to foster that love for reading. Comic books, sports books, and magazines are all great resources.
We hope these links will help! If you know of any series that your child already loves, please share in the comments section!
