Charlotte Mason inspired Classical Education Kindergarten Book List

We have just finished up our Kindergarten year of Charlotte Mason Classical Christian Homeschooling. Both my Kindergartener and my Preschooler enjoyed most of these poem and living books; they had me reread some of them so many times that they could quote parts of them with me as I read. After we read each book, the girls get to flip through the pages and retell the story to me in their own words.

There are many, many, MANY great classical living books that can be read to Preschool and Kindergarten age children, here is the list that we read this year…

Here are some of my other book list posts:
