Posted on: December 13, 2022

Consider giving the gift of reading this holiday season! We're sharing suggested book gift lists for students. (See the other grade level/age level lists here.) Today we're sharing book suggestions for students at Bowman Primary School in Kindergarten through Second Grade. (The links provided for these titles take you to Scholastic.com, a trusted literary resource used by our teachers and librarians. You can find these titles at bookstores, at the library, or online.)

Reading is important! Research shows that students who read at least 20 minutes each day are exposed to 1.8 million vocabulary words a year, wow! Reading is considered brain food - reading activates and exercises many areas of the brain, whether students are reading or being read to. Reading improves listening skills, too, and improves academic performance. 

Please note: these lists were adapted from Scholastic.com's "Shop by Grade & Age" feature. The lists are simply suggestions. Talk to your child's teacher if you have any questions or would like to receive more information about books appropriate for your child's age/grade/reading level.
