Grade 1 Reading List

Back in Grade One (1972-73) one of my favourite whole classroom assignments was to read 25 books within a certain time.

The list of primer books was written on a small file folder type paper, and at the top was a photo of each of us. There are also several coloured stars - one for each book read.

Unbeknownst and thankfully, my Mom kept this document, was rediscovered when we looked through her archive.

Some of the titles are very generic. The list doesn't include the author's name. I don't know if it would be easy to locate the exact book I read back then.

Here's the list:
