While the lists provided in the links below are recommended reading for students in grades 6-8, please know that the most important thing to remember is that READING (whether a comic book, a newspaper, a recipe, a fiction novel or a non-fiction work) is fundamental. We encourage our students to read at least 20 minutes a day and that they read something which they enjoy or a subject in which they are interested in. |
