In First Grade, I was already learning how to read independently. However, my friends’ interests and abilities varied a lot, I was exposed to many different types and levels of books. I feel like I read the best books for first-graders on my own.
These are my top three picks with chapter books after all:

- Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
- Stuart Little by E. B. White
These are the best book series for first-graders that I have read:
| Author | Title |
|---|---|
| Adler, David | A Picture Book of… |
| Adler, David | Cam Jansen |
| Barrows, Annie | Ivy and Bean |
| Brown, Jeff | Flat Stanley |
| Chabert, Jack | Eerie Elementary |
| Cole, Joanna | Magic School Bus |
| Mara, Maddy | Dragon Girls |
| Meadows, Daisy | Rainbow Magic |
| Osborne, Mary Pope | Magic Tree House |
| Pallotta, Jerry | Who Would Win? |
| Roy, Ron | A to Z Mysteries |
