Love2Smile Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I am trying to put together a monthly reading list for my 6th grader who is NOT the strongest reader. What books do you 6th graders read now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Are you looking for literature selections? My 6th grader was a late reader and is reading through the TOG book list for the Upper Grammar Level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisabees Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ds13 is a struggling reader. For free reading, he has read two Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and The Kid Who Ran For President. For me, he has read From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler and we're working on Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh. What is waiting in the wings (for me): Island of the Blue Dolphins The Westing Game Roll of Thunder, Hear me Cry Where The Red Fern Grows The Giver Catherine, Called Birdy Crispin I, Juan de Pareja King Arthur The Number Devil The Measly Middle Ages A Single Shard Excerpts from Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, Arabian Nights, Robin Hood Free Reading (waiting in the wings): Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians Shredderman: Secret Identity The Wednesday Wars The Thief The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid Tangerine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 My 6th grader is dyslexic, but is reading at grade level. She doesn't enjoy reading. She does 25 minutes of free reading (anything she wants) and 20 minutes of assigned reading each day. free reading so far this year: 2nd Mysterious Benedict Society book Pillage (the sci-fi book by the author of the Leven Thumps series) Bluestar's Prophecy (new Warriors book by Erin Hunter) Bram Hambric: The Farfield Curse - this is what she's reading now She will definitely read the 3rd Mysterious Benedict Society book, the newest Warriors book, and the newest Wimpy Kid book when she's finished with the book she's reading now. For school she has read: By the Great Horn Spoon Sing Down the Moon The Legend of Jimmy Spoon - this is what she's reading now For her next assigned reader, she will have to choose between Freedom Train, Brady, and Steal Away Home. All three are about the Underground Railroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaichiki Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 What books do you 6th graders read now? The Redwall series -- totally, stereotypically, "boy" books. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChileMama Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The Redwall series -- totally, stereotypically, "boy" books. :D Not just for boys! My dd10 loves Redwall too, although currently is reading through the Wizard of Oz series. -- Susannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda in TX Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think she's read (some more than once) every single book in the series. I've listened to the first one on audio and enjoyed it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
