larryhammerCan anyone recommend books like Tamora Pierce’s Alanna and Protector of the Small series for younger readers? Stories about training for knighthood or in vicinity of that.

I think it's written at the right reading level for kids in the next age group younger than for Protector of the Small, like 8-10-ish year olds instead of young teens, and lends itself well to being read aloud to younger kids. Especially if the grownup reader can do voices for the different characters. :-) It has few but quite nice illustrations, like one full-page one per short chapter.
There's also this one, which I haven't read, but looks good:
The Making of a Knight by Patrick O'Brien,
