  • Rising Seventh Grade
    6th into 7th Grade 2021 Summer Reading List ============================ Prepared by Liz Perry, SFWS Librarian for Class Teacher Alylssa Steller A Note to Parents: I include here some valuable advice from former librarian, Ann Grandin: This is the summer, if it hasn’t happened already, when children show a natural interest in “those shelves around the corner.” Known as the Young Adult section, the inventory is often housed on a different floor or a very separate area from Juvenile Fiction in public libraries, and, if space allows, is equally segregated in independent bookstores. This separation is created by children’s literature specialists who recognize the need for children – roughly 12 through 14 – to avoid moral and social challenges in literature they may be unprepared to navigate. Topics might include harsh language, drugs, sex, mental illness, suicide, and/or domestic violence. Young adult literature can send powerful and beautifully crafted messages, but these pictures need to be received at the right time. You the parent, know your child and are the best judge of readiness; if there seems to be a special need for a particular topic, consider reading the book with your child so there can be a shepherded conversation about its content; in other words, make yourself “the wise elder” who is sometimes missing from the book. Remember, too, that your interpretation of a book will be decidedly different from that of your child’s; be prepared to converse from his or her point of view to receive a privileged perspective on how he or she views the world. Alcott, Louisa May Little Women Grown-up Meg, tomboyish Jo, timid Beth, and precocious Amy.
