Wondering what book to pick up for your third grader?

As they develop more independence and the ability to read longer and more complex stories, the world of children's literature really opens up.

These new and classic titles are perfect for all kinds of third-grade readers. They're also great for reading aloud, if that's more your child's speed. Or you can try alternating back and forth - they read a page, then you read a page - so they can practice their reading but not get so bogged down they lose sight of the story arc.

No matter how you use these books, all 16 are winners.
