umsami Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Do you read the actual books that the passages are excerpted from? Just curious. Was thinking it would be a pretty good list. Some seem hard to find here, but others are classics. I do know that they also seem to give a recommended list of books at the end of each chapter. I can see us definitely doing the Dahl books, and possibly "Treasure Island." "My Animal Friends" by Dick King-Smith "Three Indian Princesses" by Jamila Gavin "THe Witches" by Roald Dahl "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson "History Diaries: Diary of a Young Roman Girl" by Moira Butterfield "Classic Poems to Read Aloud" by James Berry "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl "Dog Days" by Geraldine McCaughrean Any other tips/advice most appreciated.

Laura Corin Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 As many of them as we could. Sometimes the complete book was a bit more than Hobbes wanted to read at that stage, but we did work through a lot on the end of chapter lists too.

sagira Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Not at all. I already had my set list and goals for the year when we started with GP and we have plenty of books to read already. It was just tipping the scales to read those too. We did GP (2 levels) for the straight-forward grammar teaching and the comprehension questions for non-fiction.
