State Reading Lists

 If you are like me, you love a checklist. For as long as I can remember, I've checked things off lists. I began reading before I started school and have consistently been checking off from some list or another. as an adult, I check items off the movie (American Film Institute, Academy Award winners), tv (Netflix, Hulu) bucket lists that I maintain. Below are some suggested book lists that are great for kids.
