This is the reading list that I have prepared for ds8 who will be entering 3rd grade. Many of these books come from the Sonlight Advanced Reader Package for Core 2.
The Children of the Noisy Village
McBroom’s Wonderful One-Acre Farm
More Stories from Grandma’s Attic
Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West
Ten Boys Who Changed the World
I basically created a chart that listed these books, with boxes to mark the date the books were completed and a rating for each book. This chart is posted on the refrigerator. When ds8 completes one of the books on the list, he gives me a brief synopsis (or narration) of the book and gives the book a rating (1-5 stars). At the end of the year, we have a handy dandy one page sheet that lists all of the “required” books that ds8 has read that can be filed in his portfolio.

I'm bookmarking this for my 7 year old. Thanks! I like your rating system and keeping up with what he's read, also. I should really do that.
