Top Five Chapter Book Read Alouds for Second Grade

Reading chapter books to my class was my favorite academic activity during my 14 years of teaching second grade (I say academic because nothing can top playing Kick the Ball Over the Fence with the kids at recess.) Those 14 years of reading gave me a chance to discover some great second grade chapter book read alouds.

Here are my top five chapter book read alouds for second graders:

5. Poppy by Avi

4. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

3. Wayside School is Falling Down by Louis Sachar

2. Holes by Louis Sachar

1. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
