Books for 3rd Grade

Our Books for 3rd Grade collection highlights stories and nonfiction that tend to resonate with readers around ages 8–9. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular titles at a range of levels, from richly illustrated chapter books to early middle-grade novels and high-interest nonfiction. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with attention to content and themes so you can choose what fits your family. Use the filters to sort by genre (adventure, mystery, fantasy, realistic fiction, biography, science and nature), reading level, and topics like friendship, courage, animals, or big feelings. You can also filter for books that often work well for ADHD or dyslexic readers, including audio options and very engaging series. Many families build third grade read-alouds and independent reading around this collection. If you’re unsure which books will support both progress and joy for your reader, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you build a custom stack.
