Classics KINDLE Books Reading List for K-12th

Below is a list of classic books on KINDLE for children in grades K-12th!  

​As a missionary mama living overseas, I created this list to be a resource and source of encouragement to other overseas moms that you don't have to be in America with access to a physical library to give your kids great literature!  MANY of these wonderful books are available for FREE to download on your children's Kindles.  

Don't have a Kindle?  You can download the desktop app for Kindle and have your child read the books on your laptop!
