06/07 Booklist
Below are the books required for each level of classes. Some of these
books can only be purchased via mail; so do not wait until the last minute.
It is very possible to obtain many of the Literature selections from the
library and if you plan on doing that, be prepared to find the book as
soon as it is assigned.
If you start your search early it is possible to find many of the books
used.
Here are several great places to find these books. Please note that it
will be difficult, if not impossible to purchase the entire list from
one single source.

A few notes-
I have aimed to create
a booklist that is streamlined and enduring…the enduring part added
some stress :). But my goal here is to require only the books that we
need for actual study and lengthy examination. I would like to make things
simple but deep for you and me! So collections of poems and short stories
made the list. Most single stories did not make the list. Books that were
good, but did not provide enough meat for some in depth work did not make
the list.
We, as always, have more
picture books set aside for the year than we can ever hope to get through,
but they are not required purchases for each family. Group I will still
read many picture books and I will have a list of the books we plan to
read in class, but you can choose to purchase them for your own home,
check them out from the library or just let them be “class books.”
You will see that we
are not using the Veritas History manual this time, thus the new CFT history
binder takes its place. The price of this binder is TBD, but it will be
our own collection of support materials.
There are SO many books
relating to the stories of the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt that can
be read. I have many and we will use many, but you are able to make your
own choices about these extra books. I highly recommend the use of many
additional books!
You will notice that
we are not using a Shurley Grammar Text this year. Never fear-we will
be applying the concepts to the sentences in Winston Grammar. We simply
needed a new source of sentences :).We will also be using a simple program
called Fix-It alongside to reinforce practical grammar and mechanics.
Books marked with the
parentheses are for the advanced grades of each group-as in the 6th graders
of Group II and the high schoolers of Group III.
