50 Books All Kids Should Read Before They're 12

Here my friends is a great list of books to get you started on your read-aloud time with your children.  I’m a lot older than 12 and I must say I have not read all of these books – YET!  Many of them are best loved stories from my teaching days and some I’ve learned of with my grandchildren.

One of the things I really like about this list is the fact that it includes picture books to graphic novels and more.  Boys and girls  both will get hooked on these books. Cultural touchstones are also included.  These books have been kid-tested overtime and deserve a look see for you and your budding readers. 

Have fun checking out this list many of which you’ll remember reading in your own childhood.  Enjoy!  https://www.commonsensemedia.org/lists/50-books-all-kids-should-read-before-theyre-12
