Okay, here’s the deal. My daughter is now in 3rd grade (Nov 2014). I am trying to recall everything she read but that’s not possible. She didn’t have problems finding books that would interest her so I did not do a major research to find appropriate books for her. However, my son is not going to read the girls’ series, and I started wondering what there is to read for an advanced reader in 1st grade.

I spent days researching books and series, and the result is my list under Other 1st Grade Books. It is a list that does not contain only titles for boys but for anybody who is ready for more challenging books than easy readers such as Level 3 or 4 books. I actually listed quite a few girls’ series there because I either didn’t know about them when my daughter was in 1st grade or she was not interested in them (she is not into fairies, princesses, etc.)

Double Trouble #2: April Fool’s Surprise My daughter loved this short book so much that she checked it out again in 2nd and 3rd grade.

Clementine (series) To see all Clementine books click here.  I remember that when I first checked it out from the library my daughter was not interested. It was too difficult for her. I waited a few months and brought it home again and she loved it. So just try it and if your daughter doesn’t like it, give it a shot in a couple of months again.
