This is the second in a series of booklists I have put together for our family to use with our Five in a Row studies next year. It matches each Five in A Row book with a short chapter book aimed at a K-3 audience. If you missed my introduction and the list of chapter books that pair well with Five in a Row Volume 1, click here. Stay tuned for Volume 3. *Books marked (ER) are Easy Reader. There are a few classics here like The Secret Garden that may be too long to finish in a week. Listening to an audiobook version of those books might work well or pairing two garden theme books together and spreading the reading out over several weeks.
