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 & Low Books offers a wide range of diverse middle grade books for struggling, grade level, and advanced readers. Our authentic, award-winning book collections support culturally responsive teaching and embrace a range of complexity to meet all students' needs and explore a variety of interdisciplinary content, including:
- Leveled classroom libraries
- Books to support social and emotional learning (SEL)
- Social studies and history books
- Spanish and bilingual books
- STEM books
We regularly work with schools and districts to create customized collections based on your needs and budget. To get started working with us, get in touch with this quick form.
