The Best Books For Preschoolers And Kindergarteners

Last week I shared a list of books for babies and toddlers. To continue this book theme, I have a list of the best books for preschoolers and kindergarteners for you today.

Whether you are homeschooling your kids or they are attending school outside of the home, it is important to make time every day for reading together for fun during these preschool and kindergarten years. Spend time reading a mix of books together — both books with words that are easy enough for your kids to read on their own and more advanced books, so you can stretch their reading skills and build up their vocabulary.
