A little while ago our friends from Essentials in Writing asked me to send them a list of my favourite five books for each grade level. Oh the agony of keeping the list down to five. Still, it was fun to think about which ones I would include. I decided with summer here you might be looking for some really good reads for your children. Many of these will be old favourites. However, you may find an unfamiliar gem that you would like to try out. Summer is a wonderful time for kids to have some lazy days and get lost in a good book. If you have some on hand they are more likely to pick them up and give them a try. As always, remember that grade levels are quite arbitrary. Any given child may move up or down several grade levels. These were chosen with your average student in mind (whatever that is). Take a look and enjoy. The next blog post will cover titles for grade seven and up. Happy reading!

If you have a favourite book, for a certain age, I would love to hear what your children have enjoyed. A good book list is really never complete because you don't know what the next great read will be.
On another note, we just made our new website live this past week. Check it out at The Learning House . We would love to have your feedback. We are in the process of adding images as we know we are missing quite a few. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Have a great summer and keep reading!

Such a good list :) I'm 26 but would happily read some of these. Charlotte’s Web is one of my favorite ones after reading paper review about this book influence on kids mind :)
