Young children read many books in school to excel and progress their ability to read and think critically. The books can differ from school to school, but typically, most students have a similar reading experience. To gather a better understanding of what your student will be reading in the classroom, let’s go through some typical readings of each grade!
1st Grade

Of course, these are not the only books that your students will be reading in school, but it is a great way to begin to see which books will most likely be read in your student’s grade based upon public school’s reading curriculum.
