Enough Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have the AO and similar lists that are Great Books-ish in nature. What I'm looking for is fiction, but really really really good fiction, specifically for elementary age kids- Newbery winners and the like- and higher, if possible. Modern/current literature, too! Is there a list somewhere like this? Top 100 books every kid should read or something? (Hmm, just seeing that makes me think I need to Google that phrase. :lol:) Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 How to Get Your Child to Love Reading has a list in it called something like "Books you have to read before you're 13," and I've really liked it. I pulled most of my oldest DS's 3rd grade reading from that list, and I plan to do the same for the DS7 next year. It's mostly fairly recent fiction (the past 50 years or so) and a blend of the award winners and standards you'd expect and some more obscure, off-beat choices. In the past, I've been able to find the list online...I'll look around and see if I can find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Oh, look--it's right there on her website: http://www.planetesme.com/resuscitation.html ETA: huh. She says it's a list of great read alouds, but I think it's the same list, retitled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Twain Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 We have been reading various selections from Honey for a Child's Heart. Almost every book we have read from those lists is great. They are mostly fiction, and the lists go by age and type of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enough Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 These are great suggestions! My list is growing by leaps and bounds! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am choosing many books from the literature lists at the Veritas Press website and the Christopherus Amazon store. http://www.christopherushomeschool.org/waldorf-homeschool-publishing-and-consulting/amazon-store.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
