Books for 2nd Grade

Our Books for 2nd Grade collection features engaging stories and nonfiction for readers around ages 7–8 who are gaining confidence and stamina. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular titles from early chapter books to short novels and high-interest nonfiction. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with attention to varied reading levels and topics kids actually enjoy. Use the filters to sort by genre (adventure, realistic fiction, fantasy, animals, biography, science, and more), reading level, and themes such as friendship, courage, humor, or big feelings. You can also filter for titles that often work well for ADHD or dyslexic readers, including audio options and especially captivating series. Many families build second grade read-aloud and independent reading plans around this collection. If you’re unsure which books will support both joy and growth for your reader, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you curate a custom stack.
