A Reading List for My Children

I have no intentions of homeschooling my kids (although statements like that never really work out for me) but there are books that I want them exposed to. Here is an ever evolving list, categorized by approximate age of introduction. I would love to see your suggestions (or links to lists of your own) in the comments!

 

7ish (Many to be read aloud)
The Narnia Books – C.S. Lewis
The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien
Beauty, a Retelling of Beauty and the Beast – Robin McKinley
Harry Potter – J.R. Rowling

Middle School
The Earthsea Cycle – Ursula LeGuin

 

High School
The Hunger Games Trillogy – Susanne Collins
“The Ones Who Walk Away” – Ursula LeGuin
Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
My Name is Asher Lev – Chiam Potok
