[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of slightly older kids here. The above suggestions are good, but many are really designed for young readers to read to themselves. I think it’s wonderful to read to children this age, no matter their reading ability, but I would personally save some of the series (A to Z, etc.) for them to read on their own when ready. I actually think shorter books/stories work really well as read alouds for this age. Or even stuff like Shel Silverstein, etc. It doesn’t have to be some classic long chapter book. [/quote]

This!!!!! I like to pick chapter books of things that I would love to read to my kid but I don't know if she would necessarily read by herself.

-All of a kind Family
- Matilda
- Secret Garden (I will say that book has a lot more racist moments than I had remembered it as a kid so we are having some conversations about colonialism but the story is wonderful)

Some other nostalgic reads 
- ballet shoes series by Noelle Streatfield
- A little princess
- Wrinkle in time
