Summer Read Aloud Goals

In keeping with the book theme of earlier this week, I thought I'd share our book list for our summer Read Alouds.

**Disclaimer:  Apart from the first one that we just finished yesterday, we have not read ANY of these books, so I can not necessarily endorse them yet.  But, they have come highly recommended by a few trustworthy sources.  I'm a bit of a book snob.  But, if they pass my "test", I'll be adding them to our Great Read Alouds list.

Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks

Sweetie Pea and Super Boy loooooved this one.  I did have to do a little bit of editing as I read aloud, though.  Occasionally, it had a few crass words like "shut up" or "stupid."

Follow My Leader, the story of a blind boy and his guide dog by James B. Garfield

The Bears on Hemlock Mountain by Alice Dalgliesh

The Borrowers by Mary Norton

The Matchlock Gun by Walter D. Edmonds

The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh by Robert C. O'Brien

We usually take about 2-3 weeks to finish a Read Aloud since we also read picture books together each day.  So, we may or may not get through our WHOLE list...but then again, maybe we'll need to add a few more!  Here's hopin'.
