It certainly is a difficult job to put together a list of classic literature to read aloud for a homeschool or any family.
|
||
Take your pick:
- Choose some classic books from the categories as it suits you.
- Copy and Paste the book list into a Word document table - and check off what you have read and when.
- Divide the literature list into years. There are more than 24 books in the Read-Aloud sections. If you read 8 each year, you are doing really well!
- Those books you can't read aloud, can be added to the list of books you'd like your children to read when they are able.
The highlighted childrens literature are our absolute favourites!
