I stacked up some of the books we read this past year for grade 1, and Arden came over and immediately put her arms around the pile.
It's not an exhaustive stack, and we didn't read every book in its entirety, but it gives a good idea of what we covered this year. Looking back, we had our ups and downs, but overall the year was a success. We read and loved many books together!
Here are some highlights of the list...

A Child's Garden of Verses
When We Were Very Young
Now We Are Six
A Child's Book of Poems

Aesop's Fables
Just So Stories
The Blue Fairy Book

And now we're looking forward to making a new stack for grade 2!
