Recommended Reading Books: Middle School/Jr. High School
(6th Grade, 7th Grade, 8th Grade)

My Tutor and Me has compiled this suggested reading list of books for Middle School or Jr. High School students, to enhance reading skills and encourage recreational reading as a habit. Reading is not only a skill to be taught in the classroom and reinforced by a reading tutor. Reading books is a pleasurable experience that should be part of our lives, not just for 6th, 7th and 8th graders, but as life-long learners. Check back frequently for new suggestions from our reading tutors.
