But even for me, this is planning pretty far ahead. Those lovely ladies on the Ambleside Online forum are really rubbing off on me!
My intent for this year: to leisurely (I hope) read through all the books I expect my oldest son to read for his school work next year, while at the same time making some notes of some questions I might ask him to engage him in conversation about said books. This feels ambitious as a fairly new home educator! It may also be unnecessary, as I'm unsure how many of these books he'll be able to read on his own, and how many we'll end up reading together. My assumption is that it is best to read most of them anyways!
Without further ado, here is my reading list:
Our Island Story by H.E. Marshall (I've read some of this, but need to finish it)
Leonardo Da Vinci by Emily Hahn
Pagoo by Holling C. Holling
American Tall Tales by Adrien Soutenburg
The Heroes by Charles Kingsley
Children of the New Forest by F. Marryat
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
The Bears of Blue River by Charles Major
Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
Unknown to History: Captivity of Mary of Scotland by Charlotte Yonge
On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright
English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs
Wow - now that I've listed that all out (from the Ambleside Online Year 3 curriculum booklist), I'm feeling like I better get cracking if I expect to get all that read, especially in a year in which we are expecting a newborn to join the family!
ETA: As I read, I'll mark off the ones I finish with!
