Lower School Classics to Keep
It is the tradition of Great Hearts academies to inspire students to develop a personal library of literary classics they can keep, annotate, and return to throughout their lives. Therefore we encourage parents to purchase these “Classics to Keep” so that your student may graduate with an impressive library of literary masterpieces. Please do your best to acquire texts with the exact ISBN provided. This will ensure that the text aligns with our curriculum and that the entire class has books with the same features and page numbers.
As literary classics, many of the texts on our Classics to Keep lists have been made into one or more movies over the years and decades. Film is a fundamentally different medium; as a result, a film adaptation of a book always necessitates considerable differences. Having watched the movie adaptation of a text before reading it can color and diminish a students’ initial experience of the book. We encourage families to consider waiting to show their children the movie versions of our Classics to Keep until after they have read the original books in school.

Lower School Classics to Keep on Audiobook
It is hard to overstate the value of children listening to beautiful books being read aloud dramatically. While we strongly recommend parents, grandparents, and even older siblings spend time with our students reading aloud to them, often the hustle and bustle of life gets in the way of this time. Audiobooks provide an easy way to provide students an opportunity to listen to fluent reading of English. Listening to audiobooks is valuable for all children of any age but can be particularly helpful to children learning English, children with dyslexia, or children who are struggling with reading generally. To help make finding the right audiobook easy, we have compiled links to available audiobook recordings of our Classics to Keep.
