These recommended literature lists were compiled from the Reading the World Class in 2007. At the primary level, titles are recommended for social studies classes, but may also serve as useful introductions to students at all levels. At the intermediate level, suggested grade levels depend on the interest, skill and maturity of the student and the goals of the teacher. Those with only High School denotations may contain explicit language or subjects.
