Site Seeing: Good Books Good Times!

Site Seeing:  An Online Tour of Educational Resources
Today's Focus:  Book Lists
Please be sure to thoroughly preview all links before using them with your children.


Our family loves to read! This post will highlight some of the online book lists that have been helpful to me:

1000 Good Books List-
http://www.classical-homeschooling.org/celoop/1000.html

Book list compiled by the Classical Christian Education Support Loop
The list is divided into four levels:  primary, elementary, junior and senior.

Paula's Archives is home to several helpful book lists:

Living Math-
http://livingmath.net/readersbyconcept/tabid/268/default.aspx

The Living Math website is a wonderful resource for connecting math and literature---and more!  (For now, I'll focus on the books.)  The site has many book lists based on different math concepts such as probability, multiplication, and fractions----just to name a few.

The Scholastic Book Wizard
http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/homePage.do
This fantastic site enables visitors to generate customized lists of books based on reading level, genre, subject, and book type.

The Great Books.com
http://www.thegreatbooks.com/
This site is one I have bookmarked for the future----a wonderful resource for high school level study of the great books.  Not only are books listed on the site, there are also study guides avaiable for many of the books.   This site is maintained by Worldview Academy, and there is a list of ten suggested books for better understanding the Christian faith as a worldview on the site as well.

And in a post about how to find good books, I feel I would be remiss in neglecting to mention some wonderful curriculum sites I have frequented so regularly that I have committed many of their book recommendations to memory.  My favorites are Ambleside Online, Simply Charlotte Mason, Veritas Press, Heart of Dakota, and Sonlight.

Do you have a favorite online booklist?  Please share it in the comments below.
