In this video, I’m sharing new book reviews from my 6th grader—four months’ worth of independent chapter book reads from September through December 2024. If you’re always wondering what a real homeschool kid is actually finishing (and what they’re not), this one is for you. I love letting my girls have a strong voice in their reading life, and this is a peek into what held her attention, what felt like a stretch, and what she’d recommend to another middle schooler. I talk through the kinds of chapter books she’s gravitating toward right now, what made certain stories stand out, and the overall reading rhythm that’s working for us in this season of homeschool. This is meant to help you build a 6th grade independent reading stack with more confidence—especially if you’re trying to balance enjoyable reads with solid, wholesome choices that fit your family. If you’re looking for ideas to keep reading going consistently through the school year, you’ll walk away with practical inspiration and a few titles to add to your next library run.
