Booklist: stage 3

What reading stage?:-
Stage 1: Evocative text with pictures that enable a parent to talk to the child about what is happening.
Stage 2: Stories of children and their worlds. Appeal to toddlers and very young children. Simple stories but rich text.
Stage 3: Simple chapter books and other books with lots to think about.
Stage 4: Books that are technically for any age but where we found the themes and emotional level suitable for younger children.

I'm aiming to keep this list updated. These are some of our favourite books, listed roughly in order of difficulty.

The Julian Stories and others by Ann Cameron
Henry Huggins, Henry and Ribsy and others - Beverly Cleary
Ramona series - Beverly Cleary
Flat Stanley - Jeff Brown
Milly Molly Mandy series - Joyce Lankester Brisley
Church Mouse series - Graham Oakley
Boxcar Children and as many of the series as you can take - Gertrude Warner
Famous children series - artists and musicians
Paddle to the Sea, The Tree in the Trail and others by Holling C Holling
