The recommended books under-gird the curriculum taught at Word & World schools. The list below is sorted, first by broad categories, and within each category, alphabetically by author. On the right, this same list is sorted alphabetically by author and again alphabetically by book title.

Whenever possible, the photo and the title is linked to take you to an online bookseller that carries that title so you can read more about it and order it. If a particular book couldn’t be found at a Christian bookseller, the link is to Powell’s.
