Middle School
Multicultural and Diverse Books for Grades 6-8
Middle school is a time of transition where important learning takes place. As students develop identities and strengthen literacy and analytical skills, it is crucial to make sure that they have access to both "mirror" and "window" books—that is, books that affirm their identities and experiences, and books that allow them to build empathy for others. Lee and Low Books offers a wide range of multicultural and diverse middle grade books for struggling, grade level, and advanced readers. Our authentic, award-winning books for middle school support culturally responsive teaching and embrace a range of complexity to meet all students' needs and explore a variety of interdisciplinary content, including:
- Classroom leveled reading libraries
- Books to support social and emotional learning (SEL)
- Social studies and history books for middle school
- Spanish and bilingual books
- STEM books
We regularly work with middle schools and districts to create customized diverse and multicultural book collections based on your needs and budget. To get started working with us, get in touch with this quick form.
