This will be our third year using visual reading lists! Today I am sharing my daughter’s 4th grade reading list. She is my bookworm, and veers from the list often. I still created a list for her so we would have ideas throughout the year just in case!
I used many sources to find books I thought she might enjoy and that I wanted her to try. I have not read all of these, but looked at reviews and am comfortable with giving these a try. After deciding on many book choices for her, I created a page with each cover so she can browse and choose his next book easily. We do not own all of these so I have her choose and I put the book on hold at the library!
Some of the books carried over since she didn’t choose them last year. I removed most of what she didn’t choose but left a few I am hoping she will pick this year!
Below you can see Amazon links to all of the books on this list {click over to the blog if you are reading in email}.
Downloads…
I have a few downloads you are welcome to use if you’d like. First, here is a copy of the book choice page featuring the books I chose for her. If you want to create your own visual list, it is easy! Just grab the book cover images online somewhere {I used Amazon} and then copy them into a document and resize how you want! I use PowerPoint to create my documents, I like their positioning tools the best.
Here is a blank reading record like his. I just have her write the title, author and rate the book 1-10 based on her opinion.
Here’s another reading log we have used. It is very similar to the one we are using now.

I recently did a Facebook Live video sharing about these visual booklists, and why we love them! You can watch that here!
