Grade Level Reading Lists

As much as I don't enjoy "reading LISTS," I wanted to put together a LIST of suggested books for different grade levels.  These lists are not even close to including every good book, nor do I suggest that only the grade level readers can read those books listed under their grade level.  Some second graders are reading at a sixth grade level.  Some sixth graders enjoy reading third grade level books.  I think the important thing is to be READING!  It matters not to me what "level" a reader reads at and/or enjoys.  So with that in mind, feel free to select books from any level, just remember that these lists are only starting points, there are so many wonderful books out there!
Just KEEP READING!!  =)
