I don't know a lot of titles for the youngest ages, though the Junie B. Jones and Magic Treehouse books are favorites of my mother's elementary-aged students. Speaking of magic, you can't go wrong with The Magic Schoolbus. Oh! And Where the Wild Things Are.
As suggested by /u/jpop23mn, the Berenstein Bears are great books for young readers (I loved them so much as a kid), and Dr. Seuss is classic.
For middle-schoolers, I recall enjoying Maniac Magee (though I don't recall much about it), lots of Bruce Coville's monster books, the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series, and one of my favorites, The Phantom Tollbooth. My sister enjoyed the Warriors series (and still reads them now as a college student). Then there's classics like Where the Red Fern Grows and Bridge to Terabithia, though those books cover some difficult subject matter (death).
Ghost stories are much beloved, and if you can find folklore and fable specific to various cultures, you can learn about other cultures while enjoying a good story!
Some other fantastic books to have around are The Daring Book for Girls and The Dangerous Book for Boys, both of which teach all kinds of fantastic information and skills while also being entertaining. I especially urge you to get the Daring Book for Girls if you have a daughter, because it not only teaches useful skills like changing tires and woodworking, but it also teaches about strong, independent, successful women through history. It promotes independence, self-esteem and self-confidence, which (in my opinion) are vital to any young person's upbringing, but especially women, since so much of the media and society seems bent on making women insecure, dependent and subservient. (Please excuse my politics.)
The Chronicles of Narnia are fantastic, if you don't mind that they're a religious allegory. When I was a kid, I read them for fun, and didn't give a damn about the religious aspect. (I'm agnostic.) Another good series is the Dark Materials series, though some parents avoid it because of Pullman's anti-religious sentiments. Again, I didn't care about that, I just enjoyed a good story.
Hopefully, with a big enough selection of books, your kids will be able to choose their own books by high school. But it's still nice to keep around some young adult and adult novels for the kids to explore. The Dragonlance novels are fantasy novels set in a D&D-inspired world, but this setting has more of a chivalric, idealistic mood, which is good for young adult readers as well as adults. You've also got the Harry Potter series, which is kind of a given...
The challenge is finding adult novels that are appropriate for your kids. If you are trying to avoid exposing your children to certain ideas before a certain age, then you'll have to personally read and consider each book before you put it on their shelf. If you're the kind of parent who allows their kid to read what they want to read, doing your best to answer their questions and put the stories into context, then it's a little easier. If your kid reads Jurassic Park, they're going to be exposed to an awful lot of violence, but they're also going to learn some fascinating scientific information as well. Crichton's books are science-fiction with a strong scientific background, so they're educational as well as thrilling, but they've got adult themes that might be better for more mature readers. (That being said, I was reading them at a young age.)
I hope this is a decent start. There are lots of good lists online, too. I'd suggest checking out GoodReads and various Amazon lists. Just remember that it's up to you to choose what you want your kids to be exposed to.
Edit: As a male, I have a distinct lack of experience with books aimed at young females. I would like to think that a good book can be enjoyed by boys and girls alike, but some books have more of a gender-focus than others.

Can you set up a wishlist or something so that I can have it sent it directly there?
I'd also like some sort of verification that you actually do work with impoverished kids, if it wouldn't be too bothersome. :)

Here you go
My wife is thirty-two and just this year read the books and watched the movies for the first time. I loved watching her face as she read the last few books. The sadness and anger in it as everyone died off. Oddly, she never learned the biggest spoiler of all. Watching her read that section was priceless.
Would love the Box Set of Books!. Imperio!
1.) Something that is grey.
2.) Something reminiscent of rain. It always rains when I go camping
3.) Something food related that is unusual. Tiramisu wafer cookies. Better than sex.
4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. I have a whole wishlist for other people. My boyfriend, gramdma, mom, dad, and little brother.
5.) A book you should read! Clearly. You should have read these already because they are the best books evar.
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping Not on my wishlist
7.) Something related to cats Leopards are big cats.
8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it.
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Because it's the best trilogy of all time.
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. To whack them in the head and the use the pick to smash their brains out. And it's foldable so it will fit in a backpack.
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I'm a student and I practically live in the library most of the school year. I need a laptop because the computers at school are SO outdated.
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.
13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. PS4! I need this because I love to game and I really, really need Kingdom Hearts 3. Like really.
14.) Something bigger than a bread box.
15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.
16.) Something that smells wonderful. This is the BEST SCENT EVER. It smells like marshmallows, fire burning, and vanilla.
17.) A (SFW) toy. Grown-up toy!
18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. Harry Potter is always an obsession.
[20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. ]()
[Anything that has my real name on it.]()
Anything made in Oregon. This is a bit of a stretch but bear with me. The Bourne Triology preceeds The Bournce Legacy. Which starred Edward Norton who also starred in Fight Club. A movie based off the book who was written by none other than Chuck Palahniuk who is from Oregon & resides there.
I'll be back to finish this!

How cheap and legal?

You're doing this wrong. If you approach books as a task for self-edification that you view as a duty, you're going to hate it. Read whatever you want, for entertainment. Read funnystuff. Read thrillers. Read fantasy. Read weird science fiction. Heck, read history, economics, and science.
TL;DR: Read whatever the hell you feel like, and I guarantee you you will feel better about yourself than you would have by forcing yourself through Ulysses or War and Peace.

Pottermore shopを見たところ、電子版ならKindle, kobo, Reader等で買えるようです。紙の本のほうが好きな場合はamazonでアメリカ版の取り扱いはあります。参考程度にどうぞ。
Seriously, I'd recommend reading the English version. I gave up reading the Japanese translations because of the terrible quality. I doubt Matsuoka (or Seizansha) would let go of the only successful book they released, so I wouldn't hope for re-translations if I were you.

Off you go, then.
A hundred bucks!?! OBVIOUSLY this means you are anything but a jerk!
But if you're serious, I don't own any of the Harry Potter books, and the entire set is only like $50...
girlsplaywow is a jerk
LOL NAW MAAAN I'M KIDDIN'
http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Paperback-Box-Books/dp/0545162076/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312756153&sr=1-1 There, you can get complete set of hardcover for about $70 and softcover for a little over $40. Waaay better than $200
Edit: Oh and alot of times on items over $25 there's free shipping. Yay to that
It's a good price, but it's only about 20% cheaper than the typical Amazon price and this isn't the cheapest it goes. You can see the price history here.
Your opinion does seem to have some supporting facts. Once the books started to balloon out, I began to loose interest in them. Not that my interest was great to begin with.
Amazon still has them all for sale online. My BF just got the whole set (of the original US versions) from there for a really reasonable price. Here's the link for it.
The Harry Potter series has made a seriously huge impact on my life. It changed my life. I love it so much--it has so many great life lessons about love, acceptance, and bravery. I don't understand people who think they're just kids' books--there are so many beautiful passages that have really shaped my worldview.
I would love to read this book (used) from my Under $6 wishlist. Or really, any book from that wishlist would be great! But I have read some of them, and you specified a book I haven't read.
My favorite book is 1984 and my favorite book series is Harry Potter!
I got mine two weeks ago for 52. Its not the casle version but here. http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Paperback-Box-Books/dp/0545162076/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422687574&sr=8-1&keywords=harry+potter+box+set&pebp=1422687576181&peasin=545162076

Yup
Complete Harry Potter Book Set, $45 for paperback, $389 for Audio (What the fuck?!)
Complete Harry Potter Bluray Set, $99.99
I'm pretty sure it's this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Paperback-Box-Books/dp/0545162076
How about... Harry Potter?
It's under 50 for used sets. :)
Here it is, although a tad more expensive than buying all your books separately.
On Amazon you can get each one brand new for £3.85 each, or get them in a nice box set for £30. Really cheap, as buying 7 paperbacks is usually like £50 - 70.
Edit: Noticed you're in US. Here is a set for like £30 ($52). https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Paperback-Box-Books/dp/0545162076/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491334637&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=harry+potter+books
If you want to own them that's probably the cheapest way if you want them brand new.
I second all of these, and would add J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books and J.D. Hallowell's Dragon Fate. If you haven't read them, The Chronicles of Prydain should be on your list, as well.
Bonus: This is one classy cape. I have to look my best when I'm off campus!
Some of my favorites:
You can get a boxed set on Amazon for $48. Buying all of the books new on Amazon would run you $51. I think $48 is a good price for 7 books.
You should give us a little insight as to what genre you like, since every reader is different. Here are a few of my favorites from some random genres.
Fantasy: A Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, Neverwhere, American Gods.
Sci-Fi: The Illustrated Man, Gold.
Dystopian Fiction: The Stand, The Road.
Classic Fiction: Flowers For Algernon,
Philosophy: Thus Spake Zarathustra, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Whatever Else: Fight Club, Fast Food Nation
edit: formatting
I downloaded the e-books and when I get the money, (unemployed high school student) I'm going to buy this or wait and get this and this
And thanks everyone for the tips and recommendations!
If you binge watched them you could get them done in as little as two days. As a 16 year old during summer, I've done it. Also there are 8 movies, the last book was split into 2.
Movies on Amazon if you're interested.

The books take significantly longer to finish obviously.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I've read and watched the whole series 10 times.
Try reading these. Then maybe you'll see.
