Grade 7 Books
Here are a few reading suggestions that I highly endorse. Some novels are used frequently in earlier grades and may come up in class discussions or connections to other books that we may read in grade 7.
Some books are meant to be experienced WITH others while reading, and it is preferred that these books are not read a head of time.
If a student is participating in a lit circle with one book, then it is highly recommended that they read the other lit circle books that also interest them later in the year.
If you have a book you would like to endorse, please let me know. I am happy to add it to the page along with a book review (no spoilers please!)
