| 1st grader is very into reading Magic Treehouse. What are some other titles that could help him enjoy reading on his own and also maybe stretch his skills a little? |

If likes baseball there is a series where a kid travels back in time to meet famous players—Babe and Me; Roberto and Me; Lou and Me, etc.
The Nathan hale’s dangerous adventures series is loved by many who like history/adventure type books. For a girl, many of the original American girl series are really good (the Kit ones, the Molly ones, etc.)—they were all written by a woman who lives in Silver Spring, I think! Those are history focused suggestions but if it’s not the history that appeals, let us know and we can make some more suggestions. Or if there’s a particular time period they love. For instance, it it’s the adventure aspect they like, they might like the Wings of Fire series or the Treasure Hunters series. Or if it’s the concept of kids working together to solve an adult problem, maybe the Mysterious Benedict Society would appeal. |

| Look up the Branches series by Scholastic. Lots of easy reading series that kids find fun to read. |

| Do a lot of first graders read magic treehouse on their own? Seems fairly advanced. |

My now 2nd grader loves Dragon Masters, Geronimo Stilton, Nate the Great, and Cam Jansen. Kingdom of Wrenly is good, but it’s easier than Magic Treehouse.
If you are Christian/don’t mind biblical themes, the series Secret of the Hidden Scrolls is great for 7-10. |

No, I am not kidding. I normally think of those as second grade readers. |

Yeah, I have a second grader and he is just reading Magic Treehouse and Dragon Masters on his own, although he probably could have read them earlier in the year. He did not have the skills to read these last year, but he's always been on grade level according to his teacher. Several of his friends were reading chapter books last year however. I think there are a lot of advanced readers in this area and their parents probably think that is normal and any child who isn't must be "behind."
