What are on your kids reading lists for the year? (Just for fun)

I am still working on this.  My 6th grader reads a lot on his own and I’m not planning to add more than 2 lit books per term to be read on his own on top of 1-2 books for history per term.  The Chronicles of Narnia may be the ones I have him read on his own this year.  We read them as a read aloud nearly 3 years ago.  I don’t exactly keep a list of which books to do when even for read aloud.  I have a running list of possibilities that I take with me to the library and see what happens to be availale at the time. I’ve also got tons of great books on the shelf, so I’ve always got something I can choose from.   

We all so do a bedtime read aloud for each of our sons.  Well, my younger son usually has two going at the same time as Dad reads to him when he’s home, and I read something different to him if Dad is working.  I usually read to our older ds.  This works great to give each of our boys some one-on-one time with the parent they have the least in common with. (For example, older ds and dh like the traditional manly stuff: fishing, hiking, hunting, sports.  Younger ds is more a snuggly homebody with more acedemic interests, like mom.)

We don’t have a list really. My 6th grader is always reading. She will do at least 2 of the following this year with a Progeny Press Lit Guide:

Anne of Green Gables (doing now)

Shiloh

Redwall

Pride and Prejudice

She gets to choose and when she finishes one study she’ll just pick another. If she does all 4 this year great, if not, she’ll do the rest next year.

My younger children (2nd, 1st, K, Prek, Toddler, and Baby) listen to audio books, read with mommy, and we all (with 6th grader) do a homeschool book club. I actually just posted on my blog how to set a book club up and included a list of most of the books we’ve done the last 2.5 years in book club, so hop over to see my list: http://ourbusyhomeschool.blogspot.com/2012/08/starting-your-own-book-club.html
