Seventh Grade Reading Skills and Strategies 

Skills and Strategies for 7th graders

School districts in my area are top notch. I am always on the lookout for some of the best strategies seventh graders can utilize while reading.
  • Preview reading materials, make predictions and create a visual representation such as a graphic organizer or a drawing about what has been read.
  • Use information from the text and the 7th grade student's own ideas to explain and support understanding of various kinds of fiction and nonfiction texts.
  • Make sure they like it more than they hate it
  • Choose closed caption on the TV and the kids will read as they watch
  • Vary the length and subject matter of your readings, both fiction and non-fiction.
  • Never read above a child's emotional level

My Daughter's favorite book in 7th grade 

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

My daughter, who is 12 years old, really enjoyed the Twilight books which she read while she was in 7th grade. It was a book I had to keep telling her to put down and go to bed. Twilight is about a family of vampires who have integrated into our society.

The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don't wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom's wedding, but that was a special case.)

Now we're facing our last summer together. In Septe...1 point
