“This is the cliff notes for every parent with a child going into the 7th grade! I laughed, I cried, I grew as a parent. What an amazing resource to have at our fingertips!”
—Kate Adams, Parent of 6th grader and Technical Assistant Support Specialist, The CEEDAR Center, University of Florida, College of Education
“For most of us, 7th grade is seared into the mind as a very tumultuous time in our lives that we’d rather leave in the past. If you’re a parent of a middle schooler, it’s even more challenging to navigate and still keep your wits about you. 7th Grade Ready is a fantastic compilation of advice, strategies, and guidance for how to make it through the year. This handbook is essential for anyone helping a 7th grader.”
