1 The following list was compiled by a large number of DUSD teachers. In order to avoid students reading the same novel in successive grades, you are asked to stick to your grade level for novel choices. If, upon checking within your school, you find that students have not read a novel at a LOWER grade level, you may teach that novel. However, you are asked to NEVER choose from a grade above that which you are teaching. *Key: M = Levels of Meaning S = Structure L = Language Conventions and Clarity K = Knowledge Demands: Life Experiences, Cultural & Literary Knowledge, Content & Discipline Knowledge CC = Common Core 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade CC Lexile Range 6-8 CC Lexile Range 9-10 CC Lexile Range And Then There Were Across Five Aprils LEX None LEX RL 6.5 Because of Romek Animal Farm LEX 1170 Adventures of Huck Finn 1984 LEX 1090 By Christie, Agatha By Irene Hunt By David Faber By George Orwell By Mark Twain By George Orwell Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl (7th Grade, CC) LEX 1080 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer The Book Thief LEX 730 Antigone LEX 940 As I Lay Dying LEX MSK* Antony and Cleopatra By Frank, Anne By Mark Twain By Marcus Zusak By Sophocles By William Faulkner Canterbury Tales, The Brian's Song LEX 791 Around the World in 80 Days Book of Virtues, The Brave New World LEX Beloved LEX - AP classes By William Blinn By Jules Verne Fahreheit 451 By Aldous Husley By Toni Morrison Call of the Wild, The LEX 790 By Jack London Children of the River LEX 700 RL 5.6 By Linda Crew Cyrano de Bergerac (7th Grade, CC) By Rostand, Edmond Bean Trees, The LEX 900 RL 6.5 By Barbara Kingsolver By Geoffrey Chaucer Crime and Punishment By Ray Bradbury Chosen, The Billy Budd, Sailor By Fyodor Dostoevsky Ghosts in Love and Other Plays Doll s House, A By Herman Melville Cry The Beloved Country LEX 860 MSK* Body in the Library, The Good Earth By Ibsen, Henrik Black Boy By Alan Paton Catcher in the Rye, The (8th Grade, CC) LEX 790 House on Mango Street LEX MSK* Glass Menagerie, The By Salinger, J.D.
