Hi,

Thank you for sharing the list!

Some years ago I discovered some wonderful picture books at the library here. I wonder if they would be useful for your homeschool and if they are available where you are:
1. Books by Mem Fox such as "Tough Boris" , "Koala Lou"
2. Books by Pamela Allen
3. The Hairy McLairy books by Lynley Dodd.

The pictures aren't just illustrations as they help "tell" the story. That might come in handy for your visual learners where they would be encouraged to fill in the gaps and "extend" the story.

There I should see a sun, by rising, set,
And by that setting endless day beget..."

Probably not interesting for a boy, but the first three Baby Sitters Club books were published as graphic novels a few years ago. (Very popular 80s girls chapter books)

I seem to remember reading "The Scarlet Letter" as a graphic novel as a child.
