Another of my favorites! (I love history) The Lexile level is HL710L. Since this series is set in the early 1900's and quilts were becoming popular, I would do a story quilt with a 3rd grade classroom.

Ah, Anne. :) One of my very favorites to return to, and a good reminder to remain plucky and romantic!

Oh wow, this is the exact same Anne of Green Gables Box Set that I had as a child; which was bought in Cavendish PEI where these stories take place. Anne of Green Gables is an absolute unavoidable part of my childhood. When I think back to what I read as a child, this series stands out. Book 1 is...
Is there a better series for the young [usually girl] reader? Anyone could fall in love with this series, but sadly I doubt any pre-teen boy would be caught dead reading it. Mores the pity, as this series (and especially the first, Anne of Green Gables) is utterly charming. I always felt a special k...
