Give your second grader stories that help them grow into confident, independent readers.
The Second Grade Reader features 12 engaging short stories written for ages 7 to 9, with slightly longer chapters, richer vocabulary, and more imaginative plots than Book 1.
This book includes a small number of supporting illustrations sprinkled throughout the stories. These visuals add interest without taking the focus away from growing reading skills - ideal for kids transitioning toward text-first chapter books.
Inside kids will find:
Fun, age-appropriate adventures
Short chapters that feel manageable
Clear language designed for reading growth
A perfect balance between text and light illustrations
Great for classroom reading, quiet-time practice, or bedtime stories, this collection helps second graders build confidence and enjoy reading independently.
Perfect for ages 7 to 9, developing readers, classrooms, and homeschool families.
