I have so many read aloud chapter books that are my favourite that it was very hard to narrow down the list to 6! This list is in no way our only favourites but they are some we have enjoyed recently and some are ones that spring to mind when thinking of read alouds I read to my oldest two years ago. I would love to know what are your favourite read alouds.
Author Ralph Moody.
The Ralph Moody Collection has been one of the most amazing journey's we have undertaken as a family. My older two roses would sit waiting at the window for daddy to come home and when he arrived would race out to the car begging "Daddy PLEASE read to us!"
Author Jean Lee Latham
This is one of those sit on the edge of your seat historical novels. It is excellently written. Interestingly enough when we looked up Nathaniel Bowditch in our encyclopedia set it recommend this book as the number one resource on his life. It was also awarded the John Newberry Medal.
Series Great Musician Series Book Collection
This is the first chapter book on great musicians that we've ever read and we really enjoyed every minute of our music study. There are a total of 16 musicians covered in this series.
Follow My LeaderAuthor James B. Garfield
It's a story revealing the consequences of our actions at the same time giving us a hope for the future. We walk with Jimmy as he learns to forgive and go with him on a journey as to what it would be like to be blind.
Author Norton Juster
This book is amazing ! If you love reading then this is a must for your shelf. It is so much fun. I enjoyed the play on words and the literal use of words. It is so very cleverly written. Every page is a play on words and the linguistic talent of the author is so very enjoyable.
Author Frances Hodgson Burnett
For beautiful language and character rich books I highly recommend the books by Frances Hodgson Burnett. When I asked him which book was his favorite read aloud so far he named this book. The story of a young man destined for great things. Born into poverty yet a prince. An excellent read aloud for the whole family.

We loved the Phantom Tollbooth too, and Little Lord Fauntleroy is on my Audible wishlist - I shall bump it up! I'm definitely going to look up the Handel book, and put the others you mention on my list too. I love these lists!
ReplyDeleteThe only one I have read on your list is Carry on Mr Bowditch. I started it as a read aloud and then got so into it I finished it off by myself and told the kids they will have to finish it themselves.
ReplyDeleteI love it when I read book lists where I know and like several books on the list and then I see one I've never heard of before. Thanks for recommending the composers series.
