Summer Reading: A Grade-by-Grade Recommended Reading List for Kids

There are hundreds of thousands of books written for children. The challenge is trying to discover the best age-appropriate literature.

I am grateful for the folks at Calvary Classical School—a classical Christian school in Hampton, Virginia, who have given me permission to reproduce this list below.

For outside reading, the books are divided into three levels. Books with a “+” denote that any title in that series would be acceptable.

I’ve tried to link to the paperback or cheapest version at Amazon. You can also, of course, look for the books at libraries and used bookstores.
