INTERMEDIATE CLASSIC READER BOOKS (Ages 8-10)

The books in this category are for children who are reading independently

with confidence. You'll find some longer chapter books here, but novels form the bulk of the lists. Themes such as friendship, loyalty, separation and good

vs. evil begin to emerge in these books --- many of which make great family read-alouds. From adventure to fantasy to humor, there's something here

for a range of interests and abilities.

*Please be aware that not all of these titles may be suitable for your

child. Although students may be capable of reading on a much higher level than their actual age, books still need to be age/theme

appropriate. Please be mindful of this as you select titles for your child to read!!!!*
