**Please Note: Students do not need to have read these titles, nor will we read the entire text for class. There will be no graphic, violent, sexual, or politically questionable excerpts included for in class lessons. We will be using carefully chosen, age-appropriate excerpts to strengthen comprehension skills, and introduce many fantastic pieces of writing to help students begin to foster a love of reading. Please review these texts in full before allowing your child full access to these texts if they choose to read more outside of class**
