Below you will find the combined book list for ages 5 plus.  From what I have gathered this list is appropriate for birth though grade K. This is how it is set up. If there is a picture of the book you can click on it and it will take you to a place to purchase this item. All items purchased through this link (and others around this site) provides support to keep this sight up and running through commission.  After the picture link, you will see the title of the book in blue, the author, and then the curriculum it is used for. Please see the first page for information on abbreviations. Please note that this list was created in 2005 and may be slightly out of date with the latest information.
