The Ultimate Summer Reading Book List for Ages 6 to 7

May 02, 2024

Between ages 6 to 7, kids are beginning to explore independent reading and deciding what types of stories they enjoy — and summer is the perfect time to hone their interests by introducing them to new characters and series!

Plus, check out these popular workbooks under $7.

The 7th edition of the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report shows that the number one thing kids want in a book is humor. A great laugh-out-loud option for your growing reader is Bad Food  #4: Live and Let Fry — a hilarious book about buddies Slice, Totz, and Scoop as they join a family of donuts to save Belching Walrus elementary from an evil foe!

Share this fun summer reading challenge to complete together as a family.

Young readers also want books that help them become more familiar with topics that interest them, and books that help them imagine and understand other people’s lives. For example, books like Best Wishes #2: The Sister Switch will teach your child about important social-emotional concepts like empathy and getting along with those closest to us.
