ATA 7 TH & 8 TH GRADE READING LIST

Transcription

1 The purpose of this Reading List is to support the mission of ATA: to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge. When a student graduates from ATA, s/he will have read at least 30 quality literature books and completed reports on them. Four book reports per year are required in 1st through 8th grade, with the exception of some grades requiring a special report in place of a book report. ATA recognizes that every book on the Reading List may not be completely suitable or appropriate for every child. Therefore, it is the parent's responsibility to pre-screen the book for his or her child if s/he is concerned about a book's content. A student may pick any book from the Reading List for his or her book report as long as 1) the book is at or above the student s current grade level and 2) is not an adapted version of the story (i.e., it should not say Adapted by on the title page). Book report books do not have to meet a certain genre or page requirement. Book titles listed in bold at the end of each grade level list are unavailable for book report selection. These books have been selected by the teacher to read and study in class together.
