- This is a discussion of favorite books for 5th graders. My 5th grade students love to read, and recommend these books to each other. Many of the books have been read aloud in 5th-grade classes. These books are some of my kid's favorite books, and all are very engaging for various reasons. Some are books I would describe as heartwarming stories centered around family and overcoming trials. Some books appeal to athletic kids and books appealing to students who enjoy fiction set during WWII. All of the books mentioned in this video are in my Amazon store. Just click the link below. Happy reading!! #booksfor5thgraders #childrensbooks
Hello Teachers! My name is Melanie Howell, and I have been a classroom teacher for more than 20 years. The majority of my teaching years have been spent in fifth grade. I love getting up and going to school because no two days are ever the same. I love pouring myself into the lives of my students, AND I love learning something new every day. Teaching allows me to be a servant and a leader. It is all about making a difference in the life of a child.

@@i_likefrenchfries same I have to do reading responses everyday and i have to keep reading books and I have nothing else to read and epic says it’s after school hours so I can’t use that
@@diyaagrawal1680 I have a new video that list more books. I hope you find the list helpful.
Me too
Thank you for making these recommendation videos! As a first year teacher, it's great to hear insight about books kids already are known to like instead of just guessing for my own class.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I love talking about the books in my library, and it makes me happy that you found it helpful. Enjoy your summer!
I read “Blended” just this year. I would most definitely recommend almost anyone!
Resistance was GREAT! I loved it, thank you for recommending!
Thanks so much for this list! I just ordered 4 of these for my son!
Thank you for the wonderful suggestions! I can't wait for reading time with my 5th grader!
Thank you for the recommendations I am a fifth grader that didn’t really like reading at first and now I love it thank you again
Im gonna look for these books. Another good book is the Wings Of Fire series.
I read that series!
These are great books! I have read many of them and have recommended them to my sixth graders! I love that many of them are current and up to date! Thank you!
Thank you for commenting! The only thing I love more than books is how excited my students get talking about books they love.
I recommend “The Distance Between Us” it’s about a Reyna Grande’s tragic past with her parents. This book was amazing I was reading it over the summer non stop! My sister gave me this book and told me if I wanted it, of course I said yes. I love love loved the book not only was it funny it was really heartbreaking. This is a 5th grade book and if you do AR this book is worth 11 points there’s also one for young readers you can also take that quiz since it’s practically the same and more AR points! This book was amazing it takes awhile to read but it’s worth it!!!
Thank you for your comment. I will add this book to my cart right now! 🙂
Thank you!I read it and its awesome!
Yes I do AR so this will help definitely with read!
Happy to get this perspective. Nice job on presentation.
I purchased Refugee for my 5th grader yesterday and he is really into it. The pace of the book is exactly as you described and he dove right into. My son mentioned this was the darkest book he has ever read. After reading a couple of chapters, I have to agree that the content is a little heavy for kids who are naieve and sheltered about these about these topics. Just wanted to give a heads up to parents considering this book.
I want to thank you a lot. I haved loved reading books which my brother had but i wanna try something else but i didn't know where to start. This helped me a lot
Thank you for the book recommendations. My 5th grader is very much into The Carver Chronicles series
I will check out The Carver Chronicles asap. Thanks for the recommendation. I am always on the hunt for more books to keep my selection feeling new and exciting. Whatever it takes to keep them reading!
these are great ideas for me. I will be in fifth grade next year and I listen to a lot of books on audible - so I will check these out. thank you for posting this!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Happy reading!!
This video is such a great resource for teachers and students looking for a great book to read.Thanks! I teach 5th grade in Florida- we read Refugee last year. We also read Esperanza Rising and The Wild Robot-😊
If you like Refugee, you will love his newest... Ground Zero!!
I LOVE THAT BOOK! 😍
Thank you for telling me about these books they helped me improve my reading and grammar
ooh i’m excited i’m trying to get a level z this year because my grandma was teaching for 45 years so she will help me read these. i’m going to ask her if i can get one
Currently reading Refugee to my class and loving it. It ties in well with our study of immigration and Ellis Island, as well as current events. Thanks for the great recommendations!
Refugee was a huge hit with my class! One small group made a board game based on the book for the rest of the class to play. Based on the difficulty level of the questions they created, I now know just how absorbed they were by the plot. LOL!
I loved refugee didn’ want to stop
Thanks so much I am trying to improve my vocab and this helped( I am in 5th grade like your students😁)
Thanks so much, When you hold up the Wish book, I remember I read it months ago and definitely looking forward to reread that book again! Thanks for the book recommendations! I have an book recommendation called, “Out Of My Mind,” is a story of a girl named Melody who is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and I’ve had read it over then 100 times!
Nicole, Fifth grader
im a 5th grader and i would recomend counting stars it is about world war 2 and also a series called CITY OF EMBER
Me to I'm a 5th grader oh I am 2020
Hi. I'm homeschooling a rising 5th grader. Thanks for the recommendations. We'll try Paperboy, Elephant Run and Refugee.
In 4th grade, he read ALL of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books including Meltdown. Another one of his favorite books is Because of Winn Dixie.
My middle son, the athlete, who is now a rising 11th grader, also enjoyed all of the Kwame Alexander books, and books by Mike Lupica.
Refugee is very good
Great video!
Looking for good books for my younger cousin and came across this video. Thank you so much for this! Whenever I look anywhere else the books seem to be very babyish and way too small and boring for my cousins advanced reading level.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and happy reading!!
hi im in year 6 / grade 6 (im british)im trying to find new books i read atleast 2 hours a day! this really enjoy reading and i will definitly be trying out some of these books
My daughter just started the 5th grade and has been reading a lot. One of the books we read together in Spring (because she and I like to read books and do the voices) was The Girl Who Drank the Moon (Kelly Barnhill). She liked it so much that when she started school last week, her ELA teacher, Mr. C, had a set of books each kid could borrow to read that they would then pass around to each other. She grabbed that one to re-read it (though we have our own copy at home) but she told her school friends they HAD TO read it next. Now, since we're currently taking in Afghan refugees, I think I'm going to turn toward Refugee as something to read together next. Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences on these books.
I LOVE that book too! She might also like Esperanza Rising or Julie of the Wolves.
Only book I can remember reading in grade 5 was visits in other lands. This was about 1974. Might been grade 4
I am a 5th grader, I read mostly YA books! A really good book was the young elites, though I don't know if that's YA.
You are awesome!
I'm an English teacher from Romania. All these books are very useful. Warm greetings from Romania!
nice
my mom is from Romania
@@janelynn3073 I'm so glad to hear that. Can you tell me in what country do you live?

I LOVE Louisiana way home its one of the best books I've ever read its amazing
Mam I searched for resistance but I couldn't find that suggest where I could get it
I'm not a teacher but i'm watching this because you're a wholesome person (btw i'm a kid)
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I hope you subscribe and keep watching. :-)
All of these books are amazing,I also recommend Wonder.It’s an amazing book.
YES!! Wonder is awesome. If you have not seen the book White Bird, you should check it out. You will love it.
I will check that one out.
I am not a teacher but thank you😃
Okay so I don’t teach bc I’m in fifth grade lol but I love because of Winn-Dixie and it is another book by Kate DiCamillo and I absolutely love that book it is one of my favorites but if you don’t already have that you should totally get it!
I love all best video 🤗
My name is melanie to!
Thank u 😁😁😁
I HIGHLY I mean HIGHLY recommend the series "Wings Of Fire" I feel like it's a GREAT book for 5th graders because I'm a fifth grader and I love it. At lunch I have a whole table with friends and everyone reads it except for one person. There are 3 arcs but the first one is about 5 dragonets (baby dragons) that are 6. (About 12 human years) that have to stop a war. There is a prophecy that tells them how to do it. It seems like the arcs have different themes like the first one is friendship, second is trust, and not sure the third because im only on the first one in the 3rd arch.
I would also recommend "Restart" its about this boy that fell off his roof and got demisha and he has to restart his life. But he was a past bully so everyone hates him and does not trust that he changed.
I just bought the 1st book yesterday.
I’m a nine year old and my teacher is reading paper boy right now in school!
I once met the author of Paper Boy. He is super nice!! You should tell your teacher he loves to talk to classes about his book.
I would also like to suggest Harry Potter by J.K Rowling.
All the books mentioned in this video were great.
Good Books 📚📖 books

I’m really looking for a book about a Korean girl that lives in Korea (north). She lives with her mom and 3 or 4 brothers. Her dad was taken away to fight in the war and all she wants is for him to come back. They then had to leave Korea because it was very unsafe. That’s all I got from. I’m dying to refind it but it’s so hard to find it because I don’t know the name nor the author. If anyone knows a book like that, please let me know. Maybe it could be the book I’m looking for.
(By the way, it’s a free verse poetic book)
It's great
All my students loved it. And the author came for a book talk. She was an incredible speaker.
I remember reading a chapter book that was about a mouse named alvin i think and alvin got lost in the woods and is trying to get back home it also had a green cover with a picture of a mouse I forgot the name I really liked that book but we never finished it
Could it be Walter The Lazy Mouse by Marjorie Flack?
@@gnabgib7304 no I remember the book name its abel's Island i searched books with a mouse lost in the woods and found it just now thanks though
@@rosaliaramirez1731No prob! Glad you were able to find the name of your book.
My favourite is the giving tree
I would recommend genus files
Ghost was really good
I have the same book the last one I’m am also a 6th grader and I’ve been trying too look for books I’m going too ask my mom can I go too the library 📚
I have a hard time getting my daughter to read. She'd rather play with electronics. I guess we all struggle with this.
Yes, especially with virtual school happening in many communities, there is even more screen time than before. When I was trying to increase a child's desire to read, one thing that worked for me was to read books that I thought the child would enjoy. (Yes, I started reading the children's chapter books.) Then, I would talk about the book like it was the BEST book I had ever read and try to generate some excitement for the book. If nothing else, I was modeling a love of reading. When kids see that excitement, they want to be a part of it. I wish you (and your daughter) happy reading!
@@TeachersPlaybook Than you for the reply. It just seems like everything i try doesn't work. I'm a huge reader and have a 200+ book library. I spend a lot of time looking up books i think she'd like but there's no interest at all. I even offer to read with her.
@@Jaeno311 WOW! If you are doing all of that I am sure she will eventually follow in your footsteps. :-)
@@TeachersPlaybook I sure hope so
Got any recommendation for grade 6
All of the books on this list would work for 6th grade. Many of my students love books that are part of series. I just finished book one of Pendragon. My 6th grade boys who need books with a lot of action are going to love it. Happy Teaching!
i started reading YA books in 3rd class
@@souljagrl.com222 u got the whole squad laughing
@@alanastasiunaite ok sorry I wasn’t trying to start anything but ok
@@alanastasiunaite sorry didn’t mean to start anything my bad
Is these books available in India ??????????
I love the wimpy ones I read like 20 pgs
Kimura Apo I read it all last year
Hi can you help I can't remember what I read and understand any thang
I think you need to tell a trusted teacher that information, or your school counselor.
You should order "The Menagerie" and "The collector"
These are two books I have not read. What age range do you think would like them?
What school do you teach actually I am in third grade🤫
Why are the themes commonly sad or lonely?
I i’m not a teacher these are just for myself and my friend Ha Ha Ha
8
I have read resistance
A good author is Polly shulman
What reading level is it?
All of these books are read by my 5th-grade class. If you give me the name of a specific book I can tell you a more exact level. Thanks!!
I have Wish it was really good
Do you think Wish is appropriate for 6th or 7th graders? Would it be "too easy?"
burma is my native country
I a. A kid
Are you a teacher?
Readddddd restart Gordon Korma
YEEESSS!! Excellent recommendation!
Just kidding
