As kids start learning to read, there are a wide variety of books which they should be exposed to. Even if they can read on their own, picture books are still appealing to this age group. However, they also need easy-to-read early readers to practice their developing skills. Lastly, many chapter books are appropriate for 5 or 6 year olds as long as they are read aloud, even if they can’t read the words themselves. The books on this page are among the best books for kindergarten falling into one of these 3 categories.
