To foster a true love of books and encourage a regular summer reading routine, it’s important to know what titles are popular among your child’s age group today.
Children in grades 3 to 5 right now are excited about learning shark facts (Everything Awesome About Shark and Other Underwater Creatures!), saving the world with Marvel superheroes (Miles Morales: Shock Waves), and delving into the latest adventures of hilarious Dog Man (Dog Man #10: Mothering Heights) — and that’s only the beginning! Whether your child loves fiction, nonfiction, adventure, comedy, or spooky stories, you’ll find the perfect book for every type of reader.
Start off by making a list of books your child would like to read. If they’re not sure, start a conversation about what sparks and holds their interest — is it animals, superheroes, or perhaps relatable school stories?
Jot down a few books that come to mind, then talk about those books together to build anticipation and excitement around them. Next, create a summer reading nook and start diving into the trending titles below together.
