Preschool CornerThere are eleven books on our kindergarten must-read list. With half of our school year behind us and looking ahead at the rest of the year, here are eleven books  that we will be focusing on for the rest of the school year.

The learning goes so much deeper when we have a great book that is not only rich in story line, but one that has fun activities and crafts that we can tie into the learning. That allows us the opportunity to remember through the hands-on things that we do as well!

    I’m not familiar with all the books on your list, but the ones I know are GREAT! :)

    With my younger two boys, I am looking forward to reading Mary Engelbreit’s Mother Goose book with them. Her vivid, colorful, FUN illustrations go perfectly with the rhymes! :)

    How did you manage to choose just 11? I would have had to split the post to run all week, there are so many great books out there!! Love your choices though- my list would have included most of those (and then some…….)

    Katy No-Pocket was in our library set this week, too. We will enjoy reading it as we learn about the animals of Australia this month. Marsupial Sue is a fun book to partner with it. I love the message of the book: Be happy with who you are.

    Yay! Excited about these! My two preschoolers and I did BFIAR last year and used several of your printables. This year we’re using FIAR this year, but with a new toddler I’ve been looking at also doing some of the BFIAR books we didn’t get to last year. So your printables will once again be great for us! Thank you so much! You are such an encouragement and inspiration in all you do.

  • LouanneMason

    We haven’t read any of these. Thanks for the list! I love finding new books.

    Love this list! We read most of these with BFIAR last year. Katy No Pocket was a childhood favorite of mine :)
