Sonlight Grade 3 readers -- Can someone list out the order they're to be read in?

[tld]

We use Sonlight just for a booklist, so the only reason I would order the teacher's guide would be to know what order they recommend the books to be read in.  If someone could send me an ordered list it would be much appreciated!

I think the information you're asking for is copyrighted.......BUT..... for Grade 3, since the Readers aren't tied to any of the history in a SL Core, you could theoretically read them in any order.    It's been several years since we've done that level, so I don't even have the schedule anymore.

 

Once you get to the Core D readers and higher, you could just arrange the books chronologically.

Hmmm....I hadn't thought about a list being copywrited, but maybe it is.  So I guess I could go in any order, but I do usually see a rhyme and reason to Sonlight's order.  Hmmmm......they have a great return policy.  Maybe that's what I'll have to do.  :blush:

Isn't grade 3 the first year of US History (Core D, I think?)  In that case, just read them in chronological order.

Yes, and it's pretty easy to figure out what order to read them in. Usually you can get the info you need from the back cover or first page, but there may be a few you have to look up online to find the time period. I stopped using their guides and started making my own 1-page list of books we would read in order (like the 1-page list SL has in their guide). It doesn't take long to do that. Sorry I don't have one for D!

You can order an inexpensive reader schedule. http://www.sonlight.com/3RG.html

 

You can also see which trimester they are read in on their description page. http://www.sonlight.com/3R30.htmlHere you can see Clara and the Bookwagon is a 1st trimester book.

Grade 3 readers are not the same as SL core D readers, but the reading scheule can be purchased for around $5 so totally worth it IMHO. :)

Seeing what trimester the books fall in is a great idea.  But when I do that, only 4 books come up for 2nd trimester.  Is that right?

 oops, totally right! and time period won't matter with those as much. When my kids did these readers (which were called something else back then, LOL!), I was using a book-basket approach--I'd put 5 or so in a basket and let them choose until they'd read all those, then put some more in.

Might be. Several of the first trimester books are shorter, easier reads. I remember Viking Adventure being one of the harder books that year--could be that most of the 2nd trimester books are longer ones. Also, one of the books might start in the first trimester but finish in 2nd, which would even things a little.

SL 3 Readers bounce around in regards to ease & difficulty. The link provided means you can obtain the schedule el-cheap-o. I think it's even cheaper if you use the BookShark version, but I'm not positive on that.
