40 Ideas for Valentine Accelerated Reader Books for 3rd Grade

I developed this list because my daughter is in 3rd grade and I volunteer in her classroom for a couple hours every week. Sometimes I do projects I have planned with them, and other times I bring in an Accelerated Reader (AR) book that I will read to them and they can take a test to help them make their AR goals and much of the time I am there to listen to them read to me or help them with some homework. I thought if I started to develop a list this would be helpful to other parents and teachers looking for book ideas. I only have enough time to read them a .5 book, so that is why I developed my list as such. I am sure I will be happy I made this list when my son is at this reading level.
