Parents often ask us what is the best thing they can do to prepare their children for the coming school year. The answer that we give them is for their children to read. Reading good books will increase vocabulary as well as model good writing. Reading good books can capture the imagination and inform a child’s morality. Therefore, encourage your child(ren) to read this summer or better yet, make it a priority for you to read to them. Below are lists of books that have been curated by classical organizations and a classical school that we trust.
Please take advantage of these resources as we work on compiling a summer reading list for King Alfred Academy.
