7th Grade Reading
"So please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray,
Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place you can install,
A lovely bookshelf on the wall."
~Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Looking for a Good Book?
Here are a couple of great places to begin your search. I recognize a great many of these books as I have seen them on my shelves or on the library's shelves.
Laura's Life - This is a wonderful blog written by a 6th grader. She has several great book lists and has reviewed most of the books herself. After reading quite a few of the reviews, I must say that I wish she were in my class!!
Great Books for Boys - Let's face it. Boys read different "stuff" than girls do. This is a pretty extensive list of books that boys might be interested in.
Goodreads Top 100 - Link to a list of top 100 books for middle school. These books were all voted on by middle school readers!
Reading Level
Find the reading level of your book by using the link or the Scholastic Book Level Widget. The widget will give you an idea of the grade and interest level of the book. Click on the book's title for more information on the reading level, which you will need to record in your reading log.
