Book Reading List For Kids Ages 7-9

Updated: Nov 8

Reading books stimulate the brain and cognitive functions, improves vocabulary and knowledge, reduces tension, reduces depression, improves memory, helps in creative writing, helps to sleep better and improves empathy and imagination.


This book reading list for kids ages 7-9 is an adaptation of the list provided by Calvary Classical School in Hampton, Virginia and by TGC, who have kindly granted me permission to produce this adaptation.


The books are divided into three levels. Books with a “+” denote that any title in that series would be acceptable.


I’ve provided the link to the book on Amazon. You can also, of course, look for the books at libraries and used bookstores.
