Get Your Kid Hooked on Reading with These Awesome Series Books!

Want your child to become a lifelong reader? Children often become enthusiastic readers when they fall in love with a character in a series. They gobble up book after book, following the adventures of Captain Underpants and laughing along with Junie B. Jones. 

Our second reading unit of the year is fiction series, so our classes will spend the next month following characters across books in both English and Spanish. 

Here are some popular fiction series, sorted by their guided reading levels. All our students know their own levels, so reading within a series will help your child make appropriate choices when you visit your local library, where books are not leveled.

  1. Thanks for this great website, Ms. Ranager! These kids are lucky to have such a knowledgeable and engaged teacher. Best of luck to Mr. Fox's and Ms. Ranager's dual language class as they continue their learning adventure!
