Books inspire us, bringing aw and ah-ha moments, laughter, and tears. Reading affords us many rich and varied experiences, opening our hearts to new ideas daily. Reading together, we find instances to relate literature to our daily lives over and over again. (*see blog post “You Are What You Read”).

Reading quality literature expands our minds and hearts in ways that educate and evolve our humanity. Sharing our reading lists is sharing a little bit of our souls. I have divided the kids’ reading lists into age/grade years (September-May) for easy searching.

*My annual reading lists AND Christmas Library titles are at the bottom, so scroll down!
