6th Grade Reading List

If you read my 5th grade list, you will notice that this 6th grade list is remarkably similar. When you homeschool your kids and they are super close in age, they wind up doing a lot of things at the same time. Daniel and I read over Abbie's list and he chose what he wanted to keep on his list and what he wanted to cross off. Then we added books we thought would suit him better. He wanted some books with action in them, so I tried to accommodate. He likes to read the least of all the kids; I am still tempting his appetite. But he has come so far in the last couple years! I'm pretty proud of him.
