What type of books should a 6th grader read?

The books that I'm talking about are like action novels. But don't make it too gross or chessy. Also, make it something I can find in a public library or a middle school library.

What type of books should a 6th grader read?
Right here are the best books for your age group:

They are the Newbery Medal winners for each year since 1922. You simply cannot find books that are better written and more enjoyable than these. I read them sometimes, and I am over 50 years old.

Reply:Any book that you are able. If you can read a college level or highschool level book and understand it, then you are at a different level of reading. The harder the books you read, depending on which genre, you can learn more of the hard stuff and it will help you with your spelling and grammar. depending on which books you read, you can learn alot from the things you read, and especially if you memorize some of the stuff you read
Reply:Take the kids to the library and let them pick. They know thier own level of reading. And that will let you know thier level too.
Reply:Try looking at your school's website for a suggested reading list.
Reply:Try the Harry Potter books. good stuff

Reply:i think they should read what ever they want to read. When I was in 6th grade i was reading big novels. I read stuff like Harry Potter and some other stuff.
Reply:You can go to our library web page and ask a librarian. But I enjoyed reading Harry Potter
Reply:The Giver is a great book, and so is the Witch of Agnesi. These are not so much action as suspense, but they are both great books. The first one is written by Lois Lowry, the second one is written by Robert Spiller.





Hope this helps! :-)
