poetic license Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've been soaking up some inspiration from the thread How does one provide a classical education? Circe Institute lovers? and I'm thinking now about being more prepared for what literature we will tackle in 1st grade. I had been thinking to just "go with the flow" so to speak, but it's probably better to plan ahead. So...any suggestions for good quality literature for 1-student to read to self and 2-read alouds/discussions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssavings Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Maybe try the booklists that Veritas Press (First Favorites 1 & 2) or Memoria Press (Storytime Treasures) use for 1st grade reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmpmelmack Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have been working on this too after reading that thread, so far I have pulled from AOs free read list and the angelicum list, for read alouds, for ds to read I really don't know, we are working through SL readers 2 now, but I have no idea where to go for next year at all. He seems to want more non fiction right now, so I guess I will see where he leads me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
