Whether your child is entering middle school for the first time in 7^th grade or has already spent a year there as a 6^thgrader, you'll find loads of information in 7^th Grade Ready useful to you and your student. Each contributor to 7^th Grade Ready is a current or former 7^th grade teacher who has worked extensively with parents and families of students. These contributors have all been Teachers of the Year or finalists in their state. Beginning with how 7^th grade differs from 6^thand moving through preparing them for 8^th grade, this book will serve as your guide. It will describe what to expect in a variety of areas and what to look for as you navigate your child's physical, emotional, and academic growth.

Most chapters conclude with a list of conversation starters, as using open-ended questions is the best way to get information from your student. Not only will having these conversations assist you in supporting your child, but they will also open new lines of communication that can continue throughout the school year.

Seventh grade can be a major year of change for your child. We hope this book helps you as you support your student to be the best they can be.
