Pre-K/First Grade Reading List (2008-2009)

Okay, so this is a work in progress as of right now. I'll probably actually finish it at the end of June. We plan on being officially done with school by June 10th. But, unofficially, we will still be progressing along through our Abeka readers and doing math problems daily so we don't get too rusty.



So, here is an incomplete list of all the library books, etc. we have read this school year (2008-2009). Please be careful with the snake books (Jordan is crazy about snakes!). Most snake books are okay. By okay, I mean nothing gruesome or scary but a few of the ones listed below were a little much in my personal opinion. Since children differ and are scared by different things be sure and look through the pictures of the snake books thoroughly before sharing with your dear child. If you're looking for this list to be alphabetized, I apologize. I'm just thankful to be getting this list posted:
