Kids’ Fall Books

The leaves are changing color, the days are getting shorter, and there’s a chill in the air–fall is definitely here!

As parents begin to think about fall activities for their families, they should definitely consider starting a unit study by reading aloud to their kids.

Not only is reading aloud a great way to bond with your children, but it’s also an excellent way to introduce them to new concepts and ideas.

When you read aloud together, you can discuss the book as you go along, pausing to talk about the characters, the setting, and the plot. You can also use the book as a springboard for further learning!
