The Educated Child's Good Books for the Primary Grades

Add to my lists | Print this list

This list comes from The Educated Child by William J. Bennett. He states that children in kindergarten through the third grade should be able to read some of these themselves; others are good to read to them. He also suggests supplementing this list with books unique to your family’s religious and cultural heritage.
