Some of the books listed below are some from last year that we didn’t get to because we added other books in as interests came up. I’m always okay with that! Our kids read about 1-2 books per week so these lists are not exhaustive by any means.
Also, there are a handful of books on each list that the kids have already read for this next school year, so we will be adding more for sure.
