Whether you’re a busy mom keeping track of your summer beach reads or you’re encouraging your kids to read more, this printable reading list is a pretty way to organize them.

I’ve always been an avid reader. After I had kids, though, I read less and less. I realized this past summer that I had probably only read one book in the past 12 months. Oops.

Since one of my goals for this year was to take better care of myself and spend more time de-stressing, I realized I was missing out on something important. I read three books in two months over the summer and decided that I would set a goal of reading 10 books this year.

As I came across books I wanted to read, I scribbled them on a page of notebook paper that I stuck in my planner. It was functional, but not really pretty. So I created this pretty printable reading list and typed in my book list on my iPad.

It’s been great so far. Including the books I read this summer, I’m already halfway there.

What’s on my reading list

By the way, if you’re interested in any of the books on my reading list, here they are on Amazon:

Dear Mrs. Bird by AJ Pierce
Love and Ruin by Paula McLain
Sociable by Rebecca Harrington
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
The President is Missing by James Patterson and Bill Clinton
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer
The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George

Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King

And I’ve already started on another list that includes book series that I started by didn’t finish. Maybe next year my goal will have to be even bigger.

Using the list on a tablet

The reading list itself is blank so you can write in whatever is on your to-read list. There’s space for 30 books or more.

If you want to use it on a tablet, open the file in any app that can read PDFs. I used mine on my iPad using the Books app for a while but prefer the old-fashioned pen and paper method.

After I opened my PDF in books, I clicked the pen icon at the top of the page to be able to edit and was able to type in my text. Then I used the stylus to check off the book I already read. You can also hand-write the titles using a stylus, but my handwriting is terrible.

The printable is in PDF format and you can print this list on regular 8.5×11-inch paper or scale it smaller.

K12 Expert's Recommended Reading List for Kids (printable)

Scroll Back to the Top of This PageSkip to content

“Many reading researchers have indicated that reading is the most important skill for students to succeed not only in school but in society as well. The key to becoming a good reader? Read more and read often.”

—Kristen Kinney-Haines, Primary Literacy Director at K12 Inc.

There’s no doubt that we all hope to instill a love of reading in our children, but where do we start? Between work, schoolwork, extracurricular activities, meal planning, and more, it’s hard to find time to organize a reading list that is age appropriate, interesting, and challenging. That’s why we’ve worked with Kristen Kinney-Haines, primary literacy director at K12, to create recommendations of great books for your young readers. All of the reading lists include both classic and modern works of literature, with hopes that there are enough options to get beginning readers interested in reading and allow them to explore their interests.

Kristen also offers these tips for inspiring readers of all ages:

Take full advantage of your local library—free access to books means anyone anywhere can practice reading.
If you have children between the ages of newborn and five, reading aloud to them daily is an effective way to give them a leg-up when it comes time for formal reading instruction.
Students aged five and up—whether new to reading, or masters of reading—should read daily for at least 15 minutes. The more you read, the better you read! Reading proficiency adheres to the old adage, “practice makes perfect.”

Finally, be seen reading, Mom and Dad! When your student sees you choosing to read, you’re sending a silent signal that reading is important and has value.

Summer reading: lists of books from a teacher and parents

If you looked at the list of recommended literature for the summer that your child was given at school, and you felt sad that nothing was changing at school, then our blogger, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences Ekaterina Buneeva, will help you. She collected two alternative lists of summer literature for different age groups - recommendations from the teacher and parents. You will find everything: from Bianca to Strugatsky!

Summer is the time when a child has time for everything: to travel, to take a walk, to watch a movie, to chat with friends, and, of course, to read. Now, lists of books for summer (and not only!) reading will come in handy. These are lists of children's literature, which include books that children like the most.

It is easy to get lost in the variety of children's books that publishers offer. Eyes run wide, I want children to read good literature that speaks of true values, causes deep feelings, makes them think, therefore, recommendations proven by the experience of family reading are especially valuable.

Thanks to a survey of parents about children's literature, it turned out to be quite long and very interesting lists. I have collected them on my blog on Mela and on the website of the Online Home Literacy School "Everything is Right" under the heading "What to read with a child". Glad to share with you!

Summer assignments for a future second grader

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock. com

In order for the child not to lose the knowledge and skills acquired in the first grade during the long holidays, do a few simple exercises. It is worth doing it for several minutes a day, and in no case should you force the child to study by force. So you risk causing a young student to dislike learning and absorbing new knowledge.

Russian language

1. Repeat (or learn) vocabulary words, the spelling of which a first-grader must know by heart: , bear, milk, coat, pencil case, rooster, work, guys, dog, magpie, notebook, student, student, teacher, good, language.

2. Rewrite and write from dictation small texts (30-40 words each).

3. Finish the assignments in the school printed notebook.

Mathematics

1. Learn by heart the table of addition and subtraction within 10. Begin to get acquainted with the multiplication table.

We have prepared detailed instructions on how to learn the multiplication table quickly and easily.
