Librarians, teachers, and other parents are good people to ask for suggestions. Your child can be a good source, too. Your child may want to read a favorite book many times. Reading a book over and over helps children read faster and more smoothly, and that makes them feel good. But your child needs different books, too.
Variety is a good thing.
Remember, you don t have to pick the perfect book every time. When the two of you decide a book was a bad choice, it s OK to give up on it. Talk about what was bad about it. Children need to talk about such things with you. It helps them to learn to think.
