Literature, Mrs. Ford

There is no recommended list of books from which to choose. Students may select the book they want to read. However the following criteria must be applied: parent approval required, must be on grade level, and no graphic novels allowed. There are lots of lists of books for middle school students online. Please remember the summer Literature assignment will be due when we return to school.
