How to Choose the Best Pumpkin Books
When selecting pumpkin books for first graders, it’s important to think about their reading level. First graders should still be reading with some support, so they’ll need books that are easy to follow but still have interesting stories.
Look for books with simple vocabulary, lots of pictures, and storylines that are relatable to kids. You should also choose books that have themes and ideas that link to concepts that your children are currently learning in their curriculum.
Lastly, make sure to pick books that are age-appropriate and won’t scare them or involve themes that are too mature for their age.
