Enlightium Academy Reading List

Reading List Disclaimer

This reading list is neither exhaustive nor are the books on this list suggestions. This list is merely a platform to start generating ideas on books that could be used. Students are more than welcome to request a book of their own choice; however, because the Reading Program is tied to extra credit, all books that are not on this list must be approved by the teacher in order to generate an appropriate point value.

Enlightium Academy provides an eLibrary system exclusively for Enlightium students, called Sora eLibrary. You will find the Sora links below for many of the books.

You will also find a Common Sense Media review below for many of the books. While Common Sense Media provides helpful age-based ratings and reviews on entertainment choices for families, the responsibility falls on the parent to review and choose the appropriate books for their student.

For help on determining your student's reading level, please refer to this link.

The books are organized into three reading levels: easy, medium, and hard.
