Reading List by Grade

I have been searching the web for a good book list by grade level. I wanted to find books that the kids can read just for fun that was at their appropriate reading level. I wanted a list so I could keep my eyes out for certain titles at flea markets and elsewhere.

My efforts have been pretty fruitless. So what is a Mother to do? Make my own of course.

This took me awhile to compile and I plan on adding to it slowly, but I thought I would share it here in case anyone would find it useful.

A child has not begun his education until he has acquired the habit of reading to himself, with interest and pleasure, books fully on a level with his intelligence. - Charlotte Mason

Reading List by Grade Level

Disclaimer: I put the reading levels of each book. That may not mean the book is age appropriate for that level. Always be wary of what you hand to your child to read. 

I used AR Book Finder for the reading levels.

 ETA: I just recently found this 
 Twaddle-Free Literature by Grade Level 
"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" — C.F. Potter, signer of Humanist Manifesto 1930

"Open war is upon you whether you will risk it or not!" — Aragorn, "Return of the King"
