Our Student Reading Lists

At Lorien Wood, we treasure finely crafted, timeless, and classic literature for children!

 

Wonderful books for children are part of every unit study in each Form, but great books are also a part of our family's lives. Our teachers have created non-curricular book lists for each level of reading. We hope these curated lists help to spark and stoke a love of reading in your children for years to come!

"To introduce children to literature is to install in them a very rich and glorious kingdom."

-Charlotte Mason
