I wonder if they are too old? What would you say is the age range for it?Jamie Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210544168493409813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-85583653491877657982022-02-27T18:32:44.573-08:002022-02-27T18:32:44.573-08:00We finished the first Incorrigible book this month...We finished the first Incorrigible book this month, started Ella Enchanted reading aloud.

We've only just begun but I would not recommend for a sensitive child of 8. The authors last name is Lehmann. Anything by Beverly Clearly would make a great choice for an 8 year old, maybe start with Henry Huggins?Megan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846767136787726665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-73384203511157377122022-02-24T13:55:52.599-08:002022-02-24T13:55:52.599-08:00Our read aloud is Swallows and Amazons.

It would probably be helpful to find a sailboat/sailing 101 video just so we can visualize a bit better, but we are loving the imaginations of the kids in the story thus far. <br />I found four Patricia St. John books for my daughter for Christmas this year and she really liked them. They are all very dated older versions, because I had seen somewhere that the newer editions weren't quite the same. I'll have to add Star of Light to our list.

My daughter will read it next year for L.A. and we have the updated version, but I'm not opposed to doing a little digging for an older copy. Thanks!<br />Currently I'm reading The Year of Living Danishly and just finished Salt to the Sea, oh boy was that one great! My sixth grader is reading Tuck Everlasting. My fourth grader is reading Ben and Me. My third grader is reading In Grandma's Attic. We're reading Blizzard as our read a loud. (Just started 2 days ago, but everyone is very excited to continue). As always, thank you for sharing and for your recommendations!Megan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846767136787726665noreply@blogger.com
