4th Grade Reading List 2018-2019

Zoe's 4th Grade Reading List 

Zoe had a couple books from her 3rd grade list she didn't get to last year. I have left a couple off as they were already on my 5th grade list and she can just do them next year, and the other 3 I have moved to this 4th grade list. She will also be doing the Michael Clay Thompson Language Arts which has 3 suggested books that accompany it. The Socratic assignments and discussions that go along with them will take about 3 months. She will have 8 other books that will give her about 3 weeks to read each one.

7th Grade Required Reading for 2018-2019

Cian's 7th Grade Required Reading List

I have changed up my original 7th grade reading list to include a couple more challenging books and also things that would appeal to Cian- shockingly he wasn't super excited about reading Little Women and Anne of Green Gables from my original list, lol. I have also changed his list from 20 books to one each month from September to May. He has a little bit heavier load compared to last year and will be working on a High School credit this year. I want him to enjoy reading, yet not feel overwhelmed.
