1 ELA (English Language Arts) Reading List Grades 6-12 Governing Board According to Policies IJ and IJJ, the following books were selected for grades 6-12 and approved for the school year. Selections were based on the following: Consideration of varied interest, abilities, learning styles and maturity levels of the students served. Stimulation of growth in factual knowledge, critical analysis of differing sides of issues, literary appreciation, aesthetic values and recognition of various societal values. Assurance of a comprehensive collection of resources appropriate for the complete education of all students placing principle above personal opinion and reason above prejudice. Due to some mature or potentially sensitive topics that are covered, we feel it is important for parents to be a part of the educational experience. The Flagstaff Unified School District recommends parents review the books that will be read in your child s class. Please feel free to reach out to your child s teacher if you have any concerns or questions.
