We will be continuing "school" throughout the summer so our summer reading list is actually from our school syllabus.

My 7 year old, CPC, will be reading Dr. Seuss books; Christian Liberty Press Nature Readers; Beginners Bible; Mr. Poppers Penguins; Matilda; and Just So Stories. I realize that some of the titles appear to be far above a 7 year olds reading level but he is quite advanced in his reading skills. Just this past spring he began reading Hemingway’s The Old Man and The Sea as well as many selections from Edgar Allen Poe. He will also be reading McGuffey’s First Reader.

My 9 year old, NBC, will be reading titles from The Magic Tree House series; the Readers Bible; The Phantom Toll Booth; The Big Wave; Sounder; and titles from The Boxcar Children series. He will also be reading the last half of McGuffey’s First Reader and first half of McGuffey’s Second Reader.

Last but not least, my 10 year old, GQC, will be reading Red Badge of Courage; Johnny Tremain; The Diary of a Young Girl; A Wrinkle in Time; and Number the Stars. He will also be reading the last half of McGuffey’s Second Reader.

On top of their assigned reading the have independent reading time for which they choose the titles they want to read.
