6th Grade Reading List

Here is my other son's reading list...it is not as ambitious, but still substantial.

Tuck Everlasting

Island of the Blue Dolphins

Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry

Hound of the Baskervilles

The Scarlet Pimpernel

Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare (selections)

The Hiding Place

Carry A Big Stick

Sargeant York & the Great War

Any Landmark History Book

Children of the Storm

The last four are read independently for book reports, while the first 8 are studied and discussed for their literary value, historical context or worldview evaluation. I wonder if I'll have time to tackle my OWN reading list this year...not likely, I suppose.

"My books are my tools. They also serve as my counsel, my consolation, and my comfort. They are my source of wisdom and the font of my education. They are my friends and my delights. They are my surety, when all else is awry, that I have set my confidence in the substantial things of truth and right." Charles Hadden Spurgeon
