Classic literature teaches children about life lessons through human history. Children can learn moral messages and also learn both history and culture of people and places from them.
This book reading list is an adaptation of the list provided by Calvary Classical School in Hampton, Virginia and by TGC, who have kindly granted me permission to produce this adaptation.
The books are divided into three levels. Books with a “+” denote that any title in that series would be acceptable.
I’ve provided the link to the book on Amazon. You can also, of course, look for the books at libraries and used bookstores.
