Read Alouds for 2015-2016

I am so glad that I logged everything that we read together this year in our homeschool.  I felt as though I was doing the minimum in terms of schooling all of this year, but keep this ongoing list is a nice way to look back and see some of the fruits of reading just a few minutes each day for a year.  Most of these books were targeted to my 1st grader, though my 4-year-old was definitely listening in on many.  And this does not include any picture books-- we definitely read hundreds of those thanks to our local library!
