These books will have your first graders hanging on your every word. Since most of these books are the start of the series, you may find eager readers sliding new books off the shelves. What better way to introduce your kids to the power of reading?

Classic 1st Grade Books for a New Generation

What were your favorite 1st grade books? Dive deep into your memories and I bet you’ll pull out several of these beloved classics right along with the warmth and laughter that went along with them!

First grade is the year of missing teeth, tying shoes, and…READING! Remember the first time you discovered you could read a book on your own? Wow! What a moment!

While many kids begin to learn how to read in kindergarten, 1^st grade is when they really take off and soar! Even children who had no formal kindergarten instruction quickly sail through the ABCs in first grade and learn how to push those sounds together to make words. It is a magical year!

Reading Levels of 1st Grade Books

If you have glanced at a reading level chart, you’ll notice right away that a lot of different levels are represented in 1^st grade books! Amazingly, first graders can range from Fountas & Pinnell level C all the way up to level H, making it super important that you know your child’s reading level before heading to the library! And don’t worry, if you have no idea what reading levels even are and how to find out, I got you covered.

First graders go from barely being able to read at the beginning of the year to becoming fluent readers ready for simple paragraphs and early chapter books. What a remarkable transition! Some children even move beyond level and are ready for 2nd grade books. Significantly, 1^st grade books (and teachers!) cover more concepts in language arts than any other grade level.

High Quality 1^st Grade Books

Despite the variety and availability today of so many novel 1st grade books for beginning readers, there is value in introducing our youngest readers to the classics. There are many vintage treasures geared specifically to first graders and beginning readers!

The classic 1st grade books market is dominated by Dr. Seuss, Arnold Lobel, and Nathaniel Benchley, but there are several other inspiring authors who contribute to our list as well. Plus, I also snuck in a few relatively newer books that are destined to become classics because they are already so loved by children today.

What is considered a classic?

I like Italo Calvino’s definition, “A classic is a book which has never exhausted all it has to say to its readers.” These engaging stories capture our children’s heart today just as meaningfully as they did our own years ago.

Stories shape a child’s mind so I chose only good quality literature that focuses on family, friendship, simplicity, beauty, and the good things in life. These 1st grade books are listed below roughly in order from Fountas & Pinnell reading levels E – J, becoming gradually more challenging so beginning readers can make a step-by-step transition to confident, fluent readers!
