Welcome to 7th Grade Reading

Welcome to 7th Grade Reading
  • In 7th grade reading, we continue to read from a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books. The focus in 7th grade is to give students the skills to attack, analyze, and connect to any type of written text.
  • Specific Standards of Study: Reading Strategies, Author’s Purpose, Point of View, Bias and Propaganda, Literary Genres, Text to Text Comparisons, Close Reading through different lenses.
  • We continue to offer the 40 Book Challenge as a way to get kids excited about reading~ Challenge your child to participate in this activity!
  • Students who have a foreign language class will only receive reading for 90 days this year.  Keep this in mind when looking at grades.
  • Students must come to reading on a daily basis with a SSR (sustained silent reading book).  Students who come unprepared will lose preparation points.  We read for the first 10 minutes of reading class and the first 10 minutes of all period 9 classes (except chorus, band, orchestra).     Class Motto:  Reading Lasts a Lifetime
