Education Everywhere: My Expanded Seventh Grade Library (B&N Exclusive)

Building Skills, Confidence, and Independence — with Your Support!

Seventh grade is a big step as students gain independence, improve their academic skills, and explore their emotions. This workbook is designed to help students strengthen these essential skills — with fun, engaging activities and helpful tips for parents to stay involved.

The Parent and Family Guide pages offer caregivers offers ideas to:

• Encourage Independence with Organization: Help your child create a system for organizing school materials and completing assignments. A planner can improve time management and build responsibility.
• Inspire Creative Writing: Write progressive family stories together — each person adds a word or phrase to build a dramatic, silly, or thoughtful tale. This promotes creativity and teamwork.
• Support Emotional Growth: Use journaling activities to encourage self-reflection and expression. Discuss family experiences or personal challenges through writing to help your child process their feelings.
• Promote Healthy Habits: Try family activities like hiking, biking, or friendly competitions to keep your child active. Incorporating movement helps improve mental clarity and reduces stress.
• Develop Critical Thinking Skills: Activities like analyzing figurative language, creating comic strips, and improving sentence structure give students tools to think critically and communicate effectively.

This workbook blends literacy skills, emotional awareness, and creative thinking with practical tips to support your child’s success.

By participating in these activities together, you’ll give your child the guidance and confidence they need to thrive in school and beyond.
