Book Masterlist

I’ve had lots of parents ask for book lists, and although I have a list of websites that one can browse through to find something they like, I wanted to provide a more specific list of books with a short description and what reading level I think would match them. This list will be updated over time; I’ll add more books as I discover them.

I have included links to the books under each one. I tried to keep it limited to ๊ต๋ณด๋ฌธ๊ณ  or ์ฟ ํŒก, but these can also be found elsewhere, like on Amazon. When possible, I have attached an image that I could find of the inside of the book, just to give an idea of what the contents will be like.

I have also included a Korean translation for my mini descriptions for parents…however, I am using a translator for these (it will take me a year if I do it myself), so the translations might be a bit awkward. Sorry in advance! ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

I recommend asking your child what they like, and trying out the 1st book in a series before buying the rest! Some kids who read a lot of fantasy might benefit from a simple nonfiction book, and vice versa. Sometimes kids who love nonfiction need some fiction to broaden their creativity. Every student is different, so don’t fret if you can’t find something on the first try!

A great way to increase both learning and immersion is to look up read alouds of some of the books. Not all of them have it, but many are on YouTube. If you want them to practice speaking, make them read aloud with the video, or record their speaking so that they can listen and hear where their own pronunciation is awkward. They’ll giggle and blush at first, but eventually they’ll start paying attention when they talk.

Remember: Long Book doesn’t equal Better Book! ๐Ÿ™‚ All reading has benefits, even if it isn’t a difficult one.

โญ Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish (or Herman Parish for later books):

Another one of my personal favorites! Stories about a housekeeper, who misunderstands words a lot, leading to funny situations. This is actually a simple book to read, but I find that the humor tends to get missed by younger/less advanced readers.

โญWhatever After by Sarah Mlynowski:

A fantasy adventure series about siblings who travel through a magic mirror into fairy tales and accidentally change the original stories. Great for kids who like Disney. However, the books are fairly long and I would recommend it to mid-high level readers who are comfortable reading chapter books.

โญMy Weird School by Dan Gutman:

These books are hilarious, ans most kids like the series. They feature A.J., a second grader, and his experiences with the quirky and often wacky teachers and staff at Ella Mentry School. The humor is silly and appeals strongly to this age group. The writing is easy to understand, and I recommend it for low to mid level readers.

If your child loves video games, this is a perfect fit! The series follows the adventures of a boy named Sunny and his best friend, who enter the world of their favorite video game. It’s action-packed with bright, comic-book style illustrations. Easy to read and I’d recommend it for all levels.

Katie Woo is a spunky second grader who gets into all sorts of relatable everyday situations, from school mishaps to family fun. The stories are short, sweet, and feature a diverse cast of characters. I’d recommend these for early level readers who need help reading independently.

โญAlvin Ho by Lenore Look:

Alvin Ho is a second grader who is afraid of EVERYTHING, especially school. At school, he’s so scared he can’t speak, but at home, he transforms into “Firecracker Man.” These books are genuinely funny and endearing, dealing with themes of anxiety and overcoming fears in a humorous way. I’d recommend these to a mid-high level reader.

โญThe Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey:

This is a popular graphic novel-style series, which follows a group of “bad guys” who decide to try and be good. It’s full of humor, action, and surprising twists, with a very dynamic visual style. While it looks like a graphic novel, the text is accessible. Although there aren’t tons of words, the themes and vocab are pretty complex, so I’d recommend this series to a mid-to-high level reader.

โญGooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry:

Gooney Bird Greene is a unique and charismatic second grader who arrives in class with fantastic, seemingly outlandish true stories about her life. She inspires her classmates to tell their own stories and teaches them about narrative. This author is famous in the West, and her other book, “The Giver”, might ring a bell. This book is much more humorous, and I’s give it to a mid-high level student who likes unique characters.

Grammar: Irregular Verbs (Medium-Hard)

For kids who like funny songs, they might find this video entertaining/easy to remember the irregular verbs.

This should be a review of what students already know: past tense verbs. You might be thinking, โ€œTeacher, we already learned this in kindergarten! We even did this in class!!โ€ 

The fact is, students speak and write everyday without using the past tense correctly. ESPECIALLY the irregular ones. Yes, even you!!!

You can still get your idea across, even if you do it wrong, but itโ€™s the same thing as saying something like this in Korean:

โ€œ์–ด์ œ ํ•™๊ต ๊ฐ€์š”.โ€

That doesnโ€™t make sense, right? Itโ€™s the same for Past Tense Verbs in English.

First, make sure you know what a VERB is.

A verb is an action, or any word that you can stand up and do.

What is this verb?

Of course, itโ€™s dance! Easy.

Sometimes verbs can be more complicated, like state of being verbs, but we arenโ€™t thinking about those right now.

Next, what is the past tense?

The past tense means something is finished. You did it before, but now you are not doing it.

โ€œToday is Thursday. I went to the store on Monday.โ€

Does this mean you are still at the store? Of course not, it means you went home already. Unless youโ€™ve been sleeping at the store?!

Get out of here!!!

Anyways, now you know the past tense.

The rules for making words past tense are pretty complicated looking, but they really arenโ€™t that bad.

Rule 1: Add -ed to the verb. 

  • Walk โ†’ Walked
  • Play โ†’ Played
  • Listen โ†’ Listened

Rule 2: If the verb already ends in –e, just add -d.

  • Live โ†’ Lived
  • Love โ†’ Loved
  • Close โ†’ Closed

Rule 3: If the verb ends in a consonant + y, change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add -ed.

  • Study โ†’ Studied
  • Cry โ†’ Cried
  • Try โ†’ Tried
  • Exception: If the verb ends in a vowel + y (like: play, enjoy), just add -ed (played, enjoyed).

Rule 4: If the verb ends with one vowel + one consonant, or it’s a short, single-syllable word, double the final consonant before adding -ed.

  • Stop โ†’ Stopped
  • Plan โ†’ Planned
  • Refer โ†’ Referred
  • Note: This rule can be a bit tricky, but common examples are usually short verbs.

Thatโ€™s a lot of words, so let’s do some practice.


Hereโ€™s an online site for practicing simple irregular past tense verbs, if youโ€™re a kid who wants to practice typing or are lazy ๐Ÿ˜‰ (just type the correct word and press โ€œCheckโ€): 

https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/irregular-verbs-exercise-1.html

Here is a worksheet I have created, using multiple choice to find the correct past tense verbs:


Unfortunately, irregular verbs are almost entirely memorized, or learned over time. However, for 1st graders, memorization and repetition come more naturally than older students. So, I recommend lots of review (like, lots!) until it becomes natural.

Next is a PDF file with many irregular verbs. This is the main thing to focus on in this lesson. (not made by me- source: irregularverbs.org)

Note to parents: I recommend quizzing the student by saying the first word (โ€œbeatโ€) and have them say the last 2 words (โ€œbeat, beatenโ€) as the answer. You can also ask them to spell the word if it seems like theyโ€™re unsure. Put a star on the ones that they get wrong, and have them make flashcards to practice.

After youโ€™ve studied the list, try this worksheet, and only look at the answers if you have to.

Note to parents: This is a difficult worksheet, and will take some time, maybe even several different sessions. I recommend having your child mark the ones they couldnโ€™t remember or get wrong, and have them do the sheet one more time at a later time, when the words arenโ€™t fresh in their mind. Another way to do this instead of having the student write the answers, is by reading the sentence aloud to them and have them fill in the blank verbally. This can help sharpen their listening skills as well.

Overall, this is a very simple grammar concept, but in practice it is hard to perfect. Even some native speakers still struggle with them, so don’t feel too bad if you can’t get it down perfectly! Good luck!
