As many of you know, getting some children to read can be very challenging. I remember a boy in my class years ago who disliked reading very much. His attitude changed when I started reading “The Trumpet of the Swan” aloud to the class. It wasn’t long before this particular boy had his own copy of the book and was reading ahead!
To help your child develop a love for reading, I have compiled a list of popular books that are recommended by our Montessori Teachers, listed by grade level.
