I hope that most of these books will be short enough to read in the week you're rowing the book. For longer titles, like Heidi, you might try listening to an audio book or making your bedtime read for a few weeks. Books marked (ER) are Easy Readers which are great starter read-aloud books for kindergarteners or could be read independently by older students.
Happy Reading!

I am working on planning our next school year and these suggestions have been a great help. I plan to use many of them. I know this takes a lot of time. I appreciate you sharing your recommendations. We used your page last year with other rows and we loved every book that you recommended. I think the one that sticks with me is The Family Under The Bridge.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. I love Five in a Row and I love making booklists, so it works out well. We rowed this volume last year, so I have been tweaking it as we go. In fact, I've just updated all my Volumes 1-3 lists, if you need more inspiration. I think our favorite was Ordinary Princess by M. M. Kaye. Not on this list, but Miss Happiness and Miss Flower was a really inspiring book too for any of the Japanese rows. Now back to work on my Volume 4 list...
