Great Big Charlotte Mason Book List for Grade 1


For the younger grades I tend to use a "better late than too early" approach. Many of the choices for grade 1 through 3 can be used with younger ages, depending on the child. For both my kids I found that Kindergarten book lists were more appropriate for grade 1 than for Kindergarten.

School at this age, is mostly focused on good quality literature. Subjects are taught in a hands on manner as much as possible.

For math we like to use Montessori materials at this age. There are discount Montessori suppliers online which provide quality manipulatives useful in a family setting. Other options are DIY Montessori materials, and printable material. Here are some helpful links to get started:

GRADE 1
Major themes:
Science: Animals, daily changes, life cycles.
History/Social Studies: Occupations, how people lived long ago.


Poetry
Fiction Literature: 


Non-Fiction Literature: 
Theology: 
*These two books are out of print but worth keeping an eye out for at used book sales. They are just so sweet and nostalgic. Perfect books to read over and over again.
