Welcome to 7th grade Language Arts. The study of Language Arts at the
seventh grade level integrates the reading/literature skills with the study
of language mechanics, writing, spelling and vocabulary to create a well-
rounded, balanced language arts program. The curriculum is based on the
adopted texts and centers on the integration of the District’s seventh grade
standards for reading and writing. This course also requires the reading of
six Essential Literature titles during the school year. Again, welcome
