A Child's Reading List Reading should be the most exciting activity in a child's life.
Nothing can give a child such a good education as being a good reader.
The wonderful world of reading starts when a caring adult teaches the child the right skills before the child is taught the bad word-guessing methods used in most schools today. Maria and Juliet, twin girls, were taught to read by their parents before entering the first grade using the pre-publication manuscript of First Reader . Here is a partial list of books that one or both of the twins have already read. Let the child's taste and interests guide the selection. Avoid books that have won recent awards.
