Isabella loves reading. Last week, she started reading a new book, Roller Girl and she loved it. It was her first graphic novel and now she wants to visit our local library and find more. Books have become very important to my 9 year old daughter, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I loved reading as a child and still love reading. I just wish I had more hours in the day to read more.
I encourage Isabella to check out books, look at books at bookstores, and read as much as she wants. This age (9-10) is a difficult and exciting time for her. She’s smart and independent and loves to read more and more. To foster that passion, I was able to give Bella four new books last week. As I mentioned above, she devoured Roller Girl and is now moving onto Holes.
- Holes by Louis Sachar
- Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson
- Tales of a Fourth-Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
- Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage
