In reply to Christine. Hi Christine, I don't have one. But my fellow blogger at The Measured Mom, has this great comprehensive list with reading levels. The ultimate guide to early chapter books for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd grade

Thank you for the early chapter book suggestions. Do you have a go-to source that notates the level of the books (i.e. Guided Reading level or Lexile)? I’m a reading specialist and know it’s important to purchase an appropriate level for our two second-grade grandchildren.

In reply to Alma Flor Ada. Thank you so much for your comment. It's such a wonderful book and I love recommending it to my fellow parents! (You also prompted me to find and correct a typo in my review blurb!)

It was a joy to see my book MY NAME IS MARIA ISABEL in this list. It is amazing the number of letters from teachers and children that I receive about this book, and how many different facets of Maria Isabel's personality and history children identify with, in spite of being such a brief book. Thanks for including it. My best wishes to all book lovers who read this blog. Alma Flor Ada

I have to check out some of these suggestions! My Mom said that Anna really enjoyed The School for the Insanely Gifted that she read during her stay in NJ. She also read Alvin Ho, but I didn't hear any feedback from her on that one.

Katie Woos was a good series to begin with for DD but I am excited about finding this list and exploring more. Thanks for sharing this list. I have book marked it!

What an awesome list! I have a few Halloween-ish books to add:

Scary School by Derek the Ghost, illustrated by Scott M. Fischer
School of Fear: The Final Exam by Gitty Daneshvari
Monster High: Ghoulfriends Forever by Gitty Daneshvari

But they are really chapter books and not early chapter books but for a future list of school books with monsters ... if you ever do that one~

In reply to Lise. The Lighthouse Family is great! That's on my animal book list, too! I thought of another one you will love: Owls in the Family. It's short but it may work better as a read aloud, depending on your children's reading level. You've given me a lot to think about. :)
