Product Description
Seventh Grade Summer Reading
Memoria Press believes that literature and poetry are central subjects in a classical education. Why? Because they are the chief ways that we pass on the ideals and values of traditional Western Christian culture. Not only will your child’s affections be trained to love the good (and hate the bad) through characters they encounter. But they will get a glimpse into the wonder of reality that only good poetry can reveal to us. Our literature and poetry program brings you a choice selection of the best books by the best authors.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an iconic work of American fiction. Students will delight in the sheer pleasure of following the rollicking, mischievous adventures of Tom. Through the novel’s nostalgic portraits of life on the Mississippi River and humorous escapades – from the famous episode of the whitewashed fence to the ordeal in the cave – Mark Twain explores the deeper themes of the adult world that Tom is one day destined to join.
Bring modern history to life as you marvel at the Crystal Palace, follow Gandhi to the sea, rocket through the Space Race, and more in The Story of the World, Volume 4, Revised Edition. This text offers 42 narrative chapters, told in chronological order and spanning the entire globe, that begin with revolt against the British in Victorian-ruled India, and end with the Persian Gulf War. Independent readers can easily enjoy the stories on their own, or parents and teachers can read aloud to younger students.
