Second grade is an extremely exciting time in terms of reading. A second grader is very likely becoming more and more advanced in her reading on an almost daily basis. There are a great variety of books that are geared toward second graders, and toward that particular level of reading ability.

Second graders may be able to read many books by themselves, but don’t forget that they still like being read to! In addition to encouraging your second grader to read, you should consider reading some of the best books for second graders with him. Not only are you helping him to become a better reader, you are bonding with him at the same time.

What follows are some of the best books for second graders. This list is, by no means, exhaustive. In addition, many of the authors below will have other books that may be very appropriate for your second grader as well. If you aren’t sure what books to let your second grader read, check with your second grader’s teacher or even your local librarian.
