Welcome to Mrs. Bowers’ 7th Grade
Reading class! I am looking forward to a
GREAT year! The following information
will help us to have a successful and rewarding year. Please sign the attached sheet and return by
In seventh grade, students are aware
of their responsibilities as readers.
They continue to reflect on their skills and adjust their vocabulary and
comprehension strategies. Students
refine their understanding of the author’s craft. Oral and written responses analyze
information from multiple sources to deepen understanding of the content. Students read for pleasure and choose books
based on personal preference, topic, genre, theme, or author. We will be reading a variety of fiction and
nonfiction selections. Literary elements
taught or reviewed include: Author’s
Purpose, Cause and Effect, Compare and Contrast, Point of View, Main Idea and
Details, and Summarizing Nonfiction.
