I LOVE book clubs in my third grade classroom. I love watching kiddos all read the same book together and discuss what they are reading. It is one of my favorite parts of reading instruction in third grade!

Whenever I share about book clubs many teachers ask me what books would be best for their kiddos. I am going to share a list of 20 books at different ranges and levels.

I typically am not leveling books for my kids, but during book clubs I try to group similarly levels kids and give them a book that fits their level. You don’t want them to be overwhelmed or underwhelmed because then they will not stay engaged or enjoy the book clubs.
