/lit/ - Literature

As someone who was homeschooled for elementary school the books that stood out to me were:
Hobbit & LOTR
Narnia
The Secret Garden
Wind in the Willows
Anything by Jack London
Caddie Woodlawn
Canterbury tales
Aesop's Fables
I read an assload of classics, and a lot of historical picture books as well. My mom looked up private school reading lists and used that as a guide. None of that "captain underpants" or "diary of whimpy kid" bullshit.
I recommend looking up a private school you know about or have heard of, and see if they have a literature list on the site, they normally do.
