Terri (age 12) is a voracious reader and is particularly interested in reading about history and saint stories...
I also wanted to mention that when I make these sorts of lists, I do them alongside and with the input of that child. It definitely increases the interest level and opportunity for success!

They read a LOT of books over the summer; I'm impressed.
Well, they haven't read them yet! ;)
Alicia.. thanks for these! Ethan (age 12) has a similar interest in history and science (fictionalized...) I'll be bookmarking this page!!

I'm so glad it's helpful!
Also, I apologize for not getting back to you yet on the history thing. We don't use a program, we read a lot, we like the Dover coloring books and try to get to timelines once in awhile too. (For grade school at least.)
