Tip: Also visit my students’ blog: readingiscool.xyz
| The books on this page have worked well with kids in years 3 and 4. It is not always easy to classify books according to class and age levels, therefore my recommendations overlap (years 2-3 — and years 3-4). What is more important is to find books that appeal to the kids and are relatively easy to read. Mixing harder and easier books in a project is not a problem at all. The kids will go for what looks interesting and cool, not for the shortest and easiest book. When you are looking for appropriate books for your year 3-4 classes, also check out my collection for years 2-3-4. | ||

| 39 Clues Series | ||
| This series works very well as a class project where each student reads one of the books. They can be read in any order. The books are demanding because there are so many characters and you never know what to think of them and whether to trust them or not. I have used this series in a year 3 (AHS, high achievers) and in a year 4 MS class. It worked very well in both settings. Very weak readers in a MS class were offered books from a different series (I survided) and could do the same tasks. | ||
