Reading List 8

Textbooks ARE confirmed for the 2024 - 2025 academic year. Books are listed in the order they are assigned. Please purchase unabridged editions to experience the author's style of writing and vocabulary. 

First three books are required for Progymnasmata B - 8th Grade:

1. Dante And His Journey
2. Oliver Twist (Sterling Unabridged Classics) or Men of Iron (Dover Children's Classics)
