Our Favorite Read Alouds (Kindergarten - 3rd Grade)

We have read THOUSANDS of books in the last 9.5 years as parents, and we've read soooooo many chapter books aloud the last 4 years since my oldest started kindergarten.  Narrowing it down to the collective favorites of all of those has been hard and I'm positive we are missing some amazing ones that I just couldn't remember.  I scoured our shelves and Yoto cards (those count as read alouds, too) and dusted off the old archives of my mind to try to remember our favorites and I came up with the 19 in this list!

• The Little House on the Prairie series
• The Chronicles of Narnia series (we've only read two but will be reading the rest this year)
• Heartwood Hotel series
• Burgess Chapter Books series
• Light Keepers series
• The Moffats series
• All-of-a-Kind Family series (we only read one, but the rest are on our list!)
• In Grandma's Attic series
• Matilda
• The Trumpet of the Swan
• The Railway Children
• Anne of Green Gables (this is a series but I would recommend the others in the series for middle/high schoolers because of the themes and content - not inappropriate just more for more mature children)
• The Paddington series (we've only read one, but want to read the rest)
• Winnie-the-Pooh series (we only read one)
• Pippi Longstocking series (we've only read one)
• Little Women
• Mr. Popper's Penguins
• The Ramona Quimby series (my daughter has listened to this on her Yoto probably 20 times! - I really enjoyed the first time we all listened)
• The Betsy-Tacy series
