All journeys have a starting place.
This is a weekly place to find books and tools
that you may use with readers
at the start of their independent reading journey.

I've been covering a lot of chapter books for our readers but today I'm going to switch it up and focus on our readers who are just starting their reading journey. Here are some great books for readers who are starting to independently read!
Peanut Butter's First Day of School
by Terry Border
You probably know Peanut Butter and Cupcake from their picture books, but not they are starring in a sight word reader.
Truth or Lie: Sharks!
written by Erica S. Perl
illustrated by Michael Slack
Time to play 3 truths and a lie - shark style!
My First Day of School
written by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
photographs by Jill Wachter
Cute rhyming story about starting school - young readers will recognize things like the easel, sand table, and snack time!
Look Out! A Storm!
by David Milgrim
Friends can be in a bad mood, but when friends need a helping hand, it's nice to see friends help!
Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures: Heroes and Villains
written by Ella Patrick
illustrations by Titmouse
Compare and contrast the heroes and villains of Star Wars and their ships and weapons.
Who is the Mystery Reader?
by Mo Willems
I like this one better than the first Unlimited Squirrels story. Longer than the beloved Elephant and Piggie stories, this one is a good ladder book for those readers who want to try something just a little bit longer.
Hi, Jack! and Jack Blasts Off!
written by Mac Barnett
illustrated by Greg Pizzoli
I'm interested in getting these books in the hands of readers. I think kids will like the mischievous character, Jack. As an adult, I think he needs some serious behavior reinforcements to reward the positives instead of his naughty behavior!
Where's Rollo? and Uh-Oh, Rollo!
written by Reed Duncan
illustrated by Keith Frawley
Readers will enjoy meeting Rollo, the bulldog, who is lovable but just can't help getting into trouble!
Wonders of America series:
The Rocky Mountains and Niagara Falls
written by Marion Dane Bauer
illustrated by John Wallace
Young readers are curious about the world, I'm glad this series exists to tell them about the different landmarks in America!
Hope some of these titles make their way into the hands of your young readers.
