{learning} Our Five Favorite Beginner Chapter Books for Boys

There really is nothing like watching your child begin to read.  My oldest is in second grade and he has gone from a slow, hesitant reader to a confident one who can’t get enough!  To help him grow in confidence and fluency, we searched Amazon together to find books from all types of genres.  I like to read a wide range of books and I was hoping to instill that in him as well.  Today I thought I would share a few of his favorites.  Linking up with Jenna today!

The Knights of the Kitchen Table (Time Warp Trio series) // This series is a mix of fantasy and history and a little humor too.

The Case of the Stinky Socks (Milo and Jazz Mysteries) // I’m a big fan of mysteries and M is too.  We like this series because the stories are intriguing without being scary.  Each book also includes spy activities in the back, which is a fun addition.


Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures // Remember Flat Stanley?  This adventure series is a spin-off from the original book.  The first four books have Stanley traveling to Mount Rushmore, digging for artifacts in Egypt, seeing a ninja in Japan and skiing in Canada.  All fun introductions to the world around us.


The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great (The Knights’ Tales Series) // This is my latest find and M devoured it.  The series is a great age-appropriate look at the knights of the round table.  It mixes legend with some silly humor too. 


The Search for the Missing Bones (Magic School Bus Chapter Books) // I loved Magic School Bus as a kid, so I was so excited to find these chapter books!  These are fact-filled but interesting and we always learn something new.
