Entering Grade 7 Summer Reading Expectations

Summer Reading Expectations for Students Entering Grade 7 

Students are expected to read two choice books made from the list of books provided below.  For one choice book, you have the additional option of selecting the favorite book of a family member as long as your parent or guardian approves the selection. 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Choose and read two books from the 2023 RI Middle School Book Award Nominees list (provided below).
  2. Print out the 7th Grade Summer Reading Guide.
  3. Fill out the title and author information for the two books selected from the list below.
  4. When you finish your books, answer the questions on the 7th Grade Summer Reading Guide.

 

  • We welcome students to read multiple titles from the list below.​
  • We strongly advise parents/guardians to preview the content and summaries of the book options before their child chooses one to read. This will help families work together to choose a book that best fits the student’s interests, reading level, and maturity level.
  • The book titles listed below are available in print, eBook or audiobook and on occasion, book on CD and portable media player (Playaway) at the public library.
  • Please note that while it is not possible for your child’s teacher to have read a majority of the books on the lists we’ve provided, the selections have been vetted by well-respected panels of library media specialists and preteen/adolescent educators.
