Classical First grade Book List

Posted by Lisa Russell Feb 6, 2009

I'm planning to do one for each grade level, but I had to share the first one I made. This is for first grade but is easily adapted for younger kids. For years I've kept a reading list in my purse, and whenever we go to thrift shops, if I see a book that looks like it might be on that list, I don't have to guess I can just check the list. Books that we already have are crossed off. In 15 years I have reprinted it 2 or 3 times. I learned the trick from Amy Dacyzyn (I think that's spelled right, it's pronounced "decision") Authod of the tightwad gazette. She keeps a similar list of kids clothes they have, so that when she's out she isn't tempted to get yet another pair of embroidered jeans size 12 because she KNOWS she already has 25 pairs, and only 1 pair of size 2's (I do that all the time)

Anyhow, the first grade book list is HERE. enjoy.
