AlisonK Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We are also reading The Hobbit and Winnie the Pooh. I think one of our first read alouds when school starts will be The Life and Legacy of Saint Patrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hmm... I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. I'm going to look for one right now, or read the responses to get some good ideas! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Charlotte's Web is the first book for our book club. Surprisingly, my ds the fiction hater, has been really interested in this book. We watched the movie years ago, and he doesn't remember a thing about it. That's good considering we will watch the movie at the book club meeting. That reminds me I wanted to do a thread asking for which version is everyone's favorite! Off to do a poll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALB Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We started in June, so we've done Pinocchio and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This week we started Tumtum and Nutmeg: Adventures Beyond Nutmouse Hall. We have all LOVED all of them, and its our favorite part of the day!

lisabees Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The Hobbit and The Little Princess will be the first read alouds. DS's first assigned silent reading will be The Magic of Reality. Not sure about dd - I think Wizard of Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Hisglory Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Very familiar territory. ;) For geography Paddle to the Sea.

crazyforlatin Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I just finished Ben and Me with ds. We started Snow Treasure today. I am reading The Adventures of Reddy Fox to dd. :) Dd loved Ben and Me! I was thinking of borrowing Mr. Revere and I, by the same author.

MyLittleWonders Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We have already begun and are reading Winnie the Pooh and Little House on the Prairie in the mornings. Dh is reading The Penderwicks at Point Mouette at night (I think they are all sad it's the last one!). We will also start reading Paddle-to-the-Sea for geography. I am not sure yet for our reading and science/nature read aloud. We've also been listening to the Chronicles of Narnia all summer and are ready to begin The Silver Chair. But dh took a brief detour and we are almost done with The Alchemist. (We school year round, or at least attempt to when dh is home for the summer, but LHotP was technically the first one of our school year.)

Holly Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We technically haven't started back, but I started a read-aloud to ease into things. Our first book is...The Indian in the Cupboard! I loved this book as a child and hope they do too! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly1730 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We are currently reading The Railway Children and Don Quixote (children's version). So far, they prefer Don Quixote:) Which version of Don Quixote are you reading? This is on my list for the beginning of school but it's rather intimidating to me:tongue_smilie:.

Kelly1730 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Right now we're listening to The Reb and the Redcoats, and in the fall will be starting with I, Juan de Pareja. Reading or listening? I, Juan de Pareja is also on the list for the beginning of school. I am hoping to have one history and one lit book going at the same time, one read aloud and one audio.

Mom2OandE Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We are starting our year on Monday with a fun day and the theme Learning is magical! So our first read aloud (short) is The Houdini Box. Then we are doing Frindle since we've had it for years and never read it. I keep reading how it's a great book to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EppieJ Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We are reading The Hobbit. We're actually nearly finished with it at this point, but then we'll go back thru and do the Progeny Press Lit. Guide. After The Hobbit, I suspect ds will want to continue through the trilogy, although the language is harder so we'll see how that goes. If not the trilogy, then I have several history readers that we can look at. This is a fun thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckabell Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We read "Lafcadio,The Lion Who Shot Back." My kids enjoyed it for the most part. I think our next book is "Chocolate Fever." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcarolinamom Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 My DD's boyfriend left this weekend for college. The night before he left, he read Max Lucado's The Oak Inside the Acorn to his family, close friends and my daughter. I have precious pictures on Facebook that show him reading to his audience, and my DD staring at him adoringly. :001_smile: Just goes to show you're never too old to enjoy a good read-aloud! I thought that choice of book was very appropriate for a young man leaving home and starting a new phase in his life. DD's boyfriend realized God has a very special purpose for him now.

Wabi Sabi Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We're halfway through Stuart Little and will be finishing it up soon. Next I plan on reading Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little aloud. It looks like a short, fun read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
