lots-o-rice Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 My 6th grader has finished LL7 but it's not the end of the year. Just like he isn't done with math for the year because he finished his txt, he isn't done with reading. Much to his surprise. :) I am planning to just have him read some must-reads that he might have missed. He is a good reader, but doesn't really like a lot of wordy classics, although I have made him read a few. I have tried searching for this, but couldn't find a good list. What are the Hive's recommendations? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMum Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 There are so many good lists. I pick and chose from many.

yvonne Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Some of the classics I wanted to definitely cover from 3rd - 6th: Grimm's Fairy Tales Black Beauty Bambi Swiss Family Robinson Merry Adventures of Robin Hood Heidi King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Arabian Nights Wind in the Willows Tom Sawyer Alice in Wonderland Some others we've read: Treasure Island The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe The Hobbit The Jungle Book Kidnapped I also like looking at the literature book lists for some good private/classical schools.

momto2Cs Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tanglewood has nice lists too! And then, one of my favorite resources is 1000 Good Books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I've been going through the booklists for AO and HUFI to get ideas. We have the Yesterday's Classics set, so I'm planning on adding several of them in. I've also looked at the 5th grade lists since both programs are pretty advanced. The AO list has been posted already, so here's the HUFI one: http://www.charlottemasonhelp.com/2009/07/year-6-program-and-books.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfamily Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I like this list from AO: http://amblesideonline.org/07pre.shtml These are all the books that are recommended before starting Year 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
