TheCoffeeChick Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I'm in the middle of planning right now - but so far here's the assigned reading selections I have planned for ds: "The Broken Blade" by William Durbin "Squanto, Friend of the Pilgrims" by Clyde Rovert Bulla "The Three Musketeers" by Alexandre Dumas, adapted by Malvina G. Vogel (Great Illustrated Classic) "The Complete Just So Stories" by Rudyard Kipling "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper, Adapted by Eliza Warren (Great Illustrated Classic) "Ben and Me" by Robert Lawson "Carry on Mr. Bowditch" by Jean Lathan "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens, adapted by Marian Leighton (Great Illustrated Classic) "Meet Thomas Jefferson" by Marvin Barrett "Midnight is a Place" by Joan Aiken "Dear Napoleon, I Know You're Dead, But..." by Elvira Woodruff "The Journal of Jesse Smoke, A Cherokee Boy" by Joseph Bruchac "By the Great Horn Spoon" by Sid Fleischman I also have a shorter book per week picked out that I will assign ds to read sometime on his own during the week - most of them are picture book length. I have a third list of books I want to get from the library just to have on hand during each week for the dc to read/look through at their own leisure. And I have a fourth, shorter list of some books to use as family read alouds during the year - we don't coordinate too many of our read alouds with history, but there were a few I wanted ds to read, but I thought might be too much for him to do on his own or that dd would also like to hear.

whitestavern Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I have a schedule which includes read alouds, activities, books for my dd9 to read on her own, as well as movies. It's broken down by SOTW chapter. Some of the books we never ended up reading, and there were also some books we added along the way that were never put onto the computer schedule. I'm happy to email it to you if you'd like to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristiana Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Here's a link to last year's reading list when we did SOTW 3 and my boys were about the same ages as yours. I started to put the SOTW chapter # by each title, but I can see that didn't last long. Each list is roughly chronological though. It's broken down into read alouds, picture books, and nonfiction.
