Between ages 6 to 7, kids are likely beginning to explore independent reading and decide what types of stories they enjoy — and summer is the perfect time to hone their interests by introducing them to new characters and series!
Plus, check out these expert-approved books for growing readers.
The 8th edition of the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report shows that young readers want books that help them become more familiar with topics that interest them, and books that foster a deeper understanding of their feelings and emotions. For example, a book like When You Dream Big! reminds readers of the importance of self-trust, particularly when grappling with big questions (like your future dreams).
What is your reader loving now? We've got a book for that here.
Meanwhile, for kids who love adventures (and mythical creatures), turn to Dragon Masters #31: Defending the Swamp Dragon, where Dragon Masters Drake and Obi travel to a swamp to meet a new Dragon Master. Part of Branches, Scholastic's early chapter book line for newly independent readers, this title will boost your child's reading confidence and stamina.
