Summer Reading Challenge Recommendations

I seem to vacillate between visions of grandeur and chaos. And I just may turn to pre-planning in the hopes of chaos getting a little better, a little smooth, maybe even more full in some way. I don’t know. Maybe I’m crazy. 🙂 Or just a homeschooler. Either way, could you look over my CPH Summer Reading Challenge Recommendations? It’s based off what I’ve assigned my kiddos, but then I added upper ages just for the fun & forethought of it.

Let me know what you think of my recommendations by age: specifically whether my recommendations for older ages  are crazy. Let’s face it. My oldest may be a mature super reader, but she is only 10. 🙂 Thanks!

Summer Reading Challenge

The CPH Reading Challenge encourages a minimum of 1,000 points in order to enter for a prize. CPH books are typically 100 points each, with other books scoring 50. I aim for each list to have a minimum of 1,000 points total.
