Seventh Grade

Seventh grade is where most families first wonder whether they are qualified. You are. What you need is one math book instead of three, a way to find the piece that is missing underneath, and books your child will not put down. All three are on this shelf.

How to use it: ninety minutes, four days a week, math first. The reading is the year's real work. A seventh grader who reads two thousand pages has done language arts, whatever the workbook says.

The whole year in one place: The Whole Year: 7th Grade. For the kid who reads fast: The Hunger Games Shelf.
