kjaye Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I want to make sure that I'm not missing any of the "greats" with my kids. I have one kiddo who, given the choice, would only read fiction and another who would only read non-fiction. :) We've been reading books that I remember reading as a kid, but I want to make sure that we have a nice balance. I also want to make sure that I'm exposing my boys to all the different genres. If you have a great book list bookmarked, please share!

Edwena Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well for your child to read a variety of genres, I would check out this HOD page. Click on the different levels where it says book packs and there are books suggested for 9 different genres. I also really like Sarah Clarkson's Read for the Heart as a book list to read to your dc. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod's mum Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I like these lists too... http://angelicum.net...erature-guides/ click on the year and they list the books. I word doc'ed the complete list a while back, the selection has changed a bit. eg, The following list of books is included in the 5th Grade Good Books Guide. An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott 20,000 leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne Hans Brinker by Mary Mapes Dogdes Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Beasts of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Bonnie Prince Charlie by G. A. Henty Hospital Sketches by Louisa May Alcott Wells Brothers: the Young Cattle Kings by Andy Adams The Ranch on the Beaver by Andy Adams In Freedom’s Cause by G. A. Henty The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Under the Lilacs by Louisa May Alcott Hope this helps; another rabbit trail to follow anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
