Kindergarten Recommended Reading List

For each of the 26 lessons, a different children's literature book will be used on the sixth day, "Book Day." You only need one literature book per lesson. Many of these books may be available at your library or through interlibrary loan. You do not need to purchase any of them. If you cannot locate the storybook you need, substitute another book, preferably with the same theme.
