Light enough to tuck into your purse, yet packed with information. Based on a classical division of readers [K-6, grammar (three groupings - K, lower and upper grammar); grades 7-9, dialectic; and grades 10-12, rhetoric], this resource gathers information from some of the favorite booklist/reading guides and provides it in a handy spreadsheet format. Books are divided into sections, authors noted, and classified as to levels (easy, average, challenging); notations (read alouds, Newberry medals and awards, Caldecott medals and awards); and genre. Special notes are added for PA history references. Poetry is grouped according to country of origin (UK or US). Pages are provided at the end of each section so you can add books. Approximately 1000 books are cataloged in this small 48 pg book, pb ~ Janice
This Classical Reading Guide will help you choose the best books for K-12 reading by level, genre, and more.
In this information age, its sometimes hard to know how to choose between the sea of options and resources that present themselves at every turn. When you are choosing what books your children will read, the stakes are especially high. That is why we have put years of research into The Classical Reader, collecting and analyzing the K12 reading recommendations of classical educators from around the country, seeking those readings that have been important and pleasurable to generations of students. This pithy book includes recommendations for reading at each grade level, noting each selections level of difficulty and genre. The Classical Reader provides a way to keep a record of what your student has read and will also help you to plan future reading. This book is a valuable resource for every school and homeschool family for everything from book reports to reading for pleasure.
This extensive revised edition of the formerly titled A Readers Guide is a veritable cave of dragon loot, an embarrassment of riches that will provide years of instruction and delight and help to instill a lifelong love of reading.
Great resource for my classical readers
