I'm taking up the challenge from The Homeschool Experiment blog and making a plan for reading chapter books to Aaron (almost 6) this school year. I started reading chapter books to him when he was 4 and I love snuggling up on the couch and reading to him. I look forward to when the younger ones can join in on long chapter books. As part of our homeschool curriculum we chose the Sonlight Core Curriculum, which is a great bunch of read-alouds (including bible, history, poems and chapter books) with a plan and a reading/writing curriculum. It makes the overwhelming choice of what great books to read to your children simple. You can purchase the entire curriculum with books, or take a look at their book list and find them at your library or order on amazon.
September: Little House in the Big Woods (purchased a Unity Study for $2 from here)
October: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
November: The House at Pooh Corner
December: A Grain of Rice
January: Gooney Bird Greene
February: Detectives in Togas
March: Henry Huggins
April: Owls in the Family
May: The Case of the Gasping Garbage
June: Mrs. Piggle Wiggle
Other Chapter Books we've enjoyed:
Charlotte's Web
Stuart Little
Mr. Popper's Penguins
Dolphin Treasure
My Father's Dragon
The Hundred Dresses
Twenty and Ten
The Boxcar Children
In Grandma's Attic
Mary on Horseback
Love it! Those are exactly the level my kids are at and you've given me some new ideas. I look forward to your reviews! :) Thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your reading list!! We just started doing a couple of chapter books with Skye and I was looking for ideas on what to read her next.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate! A few of those I've never heard of - can't wait to see what you think of them.
