Hi Jan, Here's my recommended reading list for middle school:
In the Middle by Nancie Atwell Deeper Reading by Kelly Gallagher Teaching Adolescent Writers by Kelly Gallagher Teaching Reading to Black Adolescent Males by Alfred Tatem Making the Match by Teri Lesesne Naked Reading by Teri Lesesne Just to name a few ... I am certain that others out there have more to add!!

Hello! I'm certified for grades 1-6 in the State of FL and am hoping to add the Middle Grades English subject area this summer. My goal is to teach at the middle school level. I'm a firm believer in an integrated approach to reading and writing instruction, so this list looked like the right place for me. My experience is in elementary school. Are there any "must reads" that you would recommend to someone who is moving from elementary to middle? I ordered the following books last night: What Every Middle School Teacher Should Know Teaching English in Middle and Secondary Schools Teaching Reading in Middle School Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
