OK - the order of books I know - there may be some I don't know.

Ender's Game, and Ender's Shadow generally occur at the same time.

The sequels to Ender's Game are: Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and 
Children of the Mind. They are certainly worth reading - they are 
good solid science fiction, and many people love them - they're just 
not really to my personal taste.

The sequels to Ender's Shadow are: Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow 
Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant.

There's also a book called First Meetings which includes a few short 
stories written in the same universe. I would read that after the 
other books, personally - one story (The Investment Counsellor) 
contains a character who it's probably best to have first encountered 
in Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind, and two 
(The Polish Boy, and Teachers Pest) refer to the earlier lives of 
Ender's parents, and I think are best read after the Shadow saga.
