Mrs. Fishel's Series Book Recommendations
Need help getting your child addicted to reading? I always recommend parents try and hook their child by getting them into a good book series. Individual books may make for a good read, but a series will allow them to fall in love with characters and truly get to know them and care about them. If you can get them hooked on the first book of the series, they are often curious to explore the sequels on their own. Below are the series that students have enjoyed in my classroom throughout the years. Here are a few of my recommendations by AR reading level.
