Yesterday I shared my daughter’s 4th grade reading list and today I am sharing my son’s 7th grade reading list. He is much less of a bookworm, so the visual choice list helps him a LOT. Thankfully he glanced at the list and already saw several books he wants to start with!
I used many sources to find books I thought he might enjoy and that I wanted him to try. I have not read all of these, but looked at reviews and am comfortable with giving these a try. After deciding on many book choices for him, I created a page with each cover so he can browse and choose his next book easily. We do not own all of these so I have him choose and I put the book on hold at the library!
Some of the books carried over since he didn’t choose them last year. I removed most of what he didn’t choose but left a few I am hoping he will pick this year!
Below you can see Amazon links to all of the books on this list {click over to the blog if you are reading in email}.
Downloads…
I have a few downloads you are welcome to use if you’d like. First, here is a copy of the book choice page featuring the books I chose for him. If you want to create your own visual list, it is easy! Just grab the book cover images online somewhere {I used Amazon} and then copy them into a document and resize how you want! I use PowerPoint to create my documents, I like their positioning tools the best.
Here is a blank reading record like his. I just have her write the title, author and rate the book 1-10 based on her opinion.
Here’s another reading log we have used. It is very similar to the one we are using now.

Booklist Video…
I recently did a Facebook Live video sharing about these visual booklists, and why we love them! You can watch that here!
