Use our Shelfari to find books for your home library or to check out at a Houston Public Library near you. Books that may be above your child's reading level may be just right for a parent read aloud. Older students love chapter books, and there are some picture books that have amazing story lines and vocabulary to increase your child's comprehension skills. The most important thing is that we read, read, read!
