Recommended Reading Books: 2nd – 3rd Grade

My Tutor and Me has compiled this suggested reading list of books for Second Grade through Third Grade, to enhance reading skills and encourage recreational reading as a habit. Reading is not only a skill to be taught in the classroom and reinforced by a reading tutor. Reading books is a pleasurable experience that should be part of our lives, not just for 2nd and 3rd graders, but as life-long learners. Check back frequently for new suggestions from our reading tutors.
