Tuesday Booklist | Literacy is Legacy 📚

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

This week, we shared one of our guiding principles:

At CWMF, we believe independent reading doesn’t just begin at a certain reading level. It begins the moment a developing reader chooses what they want to discover.

For developing readers ages 7 to 9, reading is becoming more personal.

At this stage, children are beginning to understand that books are not simply something they are asked to read. They can be something they choose because a character makes them laugh, a question makes them curious, an adventure pulls them in, or a story introduces them to a life different from their own.

Those choices are an important part of becoming an independent reader.

This week’s Booklist gives young readers five very different places to go. From friendship and family to adventure, problem solving, humor, and discovering new communities, each story offers another reason to open a book and keep reading because they want to know what happens next.

Recommended Reads (Ages 7 to 9 | Developing Readers):

📖 Because of Winn-Dixie — Kate DiCamillo 🏅 Newbery Honor Book

📖 The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl — Stacy McAnulty ✨ Friendship • Curiosity • Finding Your Place

📖 The Last Kids on Earth — Max Brallier ✨ New York Times Bestselling Series

📖 Anna Hibiscus — Atinuke ✨ Family • Community • Discovery

📖 Jo Jo Makoons: The Used-to-Be Best Friend — Dawn Quigley 🏅 American Indian Youth Literature Honor

When children discover that reading can follow their own interests, questions, and curiosity, books become more than a skill they are practicing.

They become a way to explore.

And every time a young reader chooses the next book for themselves, they are taking another step toward becoming an independent reader.

Through our BIG Books Instead of Guns initiative, we strive to ensure every young person has access to the books, stories, and opportunities that help shape brighter futures.

Start early. Start together. Start here.

I have ARCs (advanced reader copy) of my next novel GIRL POWERED! It’s a story about an all-boy bike team and its first girl member. Book publishes in February. In the meantime, how should I find a home for these ARCs? A giveaway? A contest? In need of ideas…. by @stacymcanulty
