My 7 yr old son is just on the verge of getting really pumped up on reading. He is finally beginning to get a little confidence in his reading. He's been reading Dr. Seuss and Curious George for his level of reading. Harder books I help him with. Just looking for something interesting to keep his interest growing. Thanks for all answers.

Okay, when I said he read Curious George and Dr. Seuss it's because those are the books HE picks...the ones he feels comfortable reading. He can and does read harder material. He is a kid that the reading has been a bit more challenging for him because it didn't come as easy as math, science, etc. He was slightly below grade level last year and is on level this year. I wasn't looking for evaluation of what he should or should not be reading but (as I said) books/series with good storylines characters to nurture his growing interest in reading.
Thanks for all the answers. I wish I could give best answer to more than one!

My third grade son loves the Nate the Great books, and The Magic Tree House books, later in the year. He started reading them last year, and still reads them. Also, Arthur Books, and the Berenstein Bears.
Also, ask the children's room director in your local library. They are in charge of ordering books, and have done the research to find what this grade level is interested in. His teacher may also have good ideas.
Good luck and God bless!!

Dr. Suess and Curious George are Kindergarten/beginner 1st grade books. A friend of mine's boy read Captain underpants and other simple chapter books in 2nd grade.
Magic Tree house is good for a child a little more advanced but I think that series is best for 3rd grade.

There are tons of Winnie the Pooh books that are great for that age. Also, Scholasitc makes books that have Scooby-Doo in them. I have ALOT of them, not because I'm a little kid, but because I'm a kid at heart. I don't read them much anymore, but I have them. There are tons of them out there, each level gets a little harder. Stores like Books a Million, and Barnes & Noble carry them. Good luck!

The magic school bus are great books for little guys, educational and fun. My son loves the time-life series books ( you can find them at the library, or at a rummage sale- Theyre awesome- they have themes like inside the earth, bugs, wildlife, etc.) If youre looking more fun, less teaching. Anything you can get your hands on having to do with bugs or worms or dinosaurs are great, its also an awesome "tooth fairy" surprise!

My son loves "choose your own adventure" books, and he's read all of the Captain Underpants books. He's really into Ripley's Believe it or Not, and the Guiness Book of World Records.

Try getting a membership with scholastic. They pretty much send you all kinds of things your child would be interested in . Let them know his age and go from there. Prices are pretty reasonable. I like them and my son is just two.

I would definitely recommend the "Magic Tree House" series. =]
