[ISLMA-Share] Chapter books for 1-3

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hello,

As I'm putting together my winter book order, I am running into the same
problem I have every year. How do I pinpoint chapter books that are
appropriate for a 1-3 audience? My building is only 1-3 grades, so I
struggle each year with deciding on middle grade titles that will fit for
this age group while not going too high since the majority of my readers
don't truly fit in the middle grade category. Any suggestions for blogs to
look at or ways to narrow titles that will hold interest for my 3rd
graders? They all love Dork Diaries, Wimpy Kid, I Survived, Captain
Underpants, Princess in Black, Jedi Academy, Origami Yoda... I'm just
looking to expand my collection but want to keep it age-appropriate. Since
I only go up to 3rd sometimes I feel uncomfortable having titles that would
normally be in a K-5 school.
