[LM_NET] HIT: 7th Grade Reading Level

[Victoria Abens <vabens@LIVE.COM>]

Thanks so much to my responses....not too many....but helpful!  It is tough to find 
books that challenge students academically but are also age appropraite 
content-wise.

 

Thanks again!

 

If you go to the Renaissance Learning site under AR quiz store, you can print out 
lists of titles for a specific reading level range. Even if you don't use AR, this 
might be a good place to start.

Any of Koenigsburg's books 
Dessen's books (romance-y)may be too much boy/girl to the plot...
