Seventh Grade Reading



Seventh Graders will delve into texts in depth using Active Reading Strategies. They will practice questioning, making meaningful connections, evaluating information for importance, and analyzing the author’s craft.

In class we will read stories from the Prentice Hall Literature text, as well as novels, which will include favorites such as Seedfolk, The Red Kayak, My Brother Sam is Dead, I Columbus, and The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
