Our favorite time of day as parents is often bedtime! My husband and I particularly love reconnecting at the end of the day with a fun bedtime read aloud! And with the month of July nearly over and the new school year right around the corner, many homeschoolers are busy planning and preparing their curriculum so I thought I would share some fun books to add to your collection that young readers would enjoy!
Fun Bedtime Books for Young Readers
Since you probably already have your curriculum literature picked out, I am going to focus on books that young readers will enjoy reading for fun on their own or as a bedtime read aloud. I realize some of these books may be considered “twaddle” but they are books that young readers are able to read on their own and will enjoy. I think that is really important for readers who are just starting to read on their own to really love what they are reading!
My husband and son enjoy reading humorous books at bedtime. And since I only have a son most of these books will be popular with boys but I will try to also include books I’ve heard girls enjoy! (This post contains affiliate links.)
