Grade 10: Finding Voice
Lexile Framework: determines the reading level of a book
This theme focuses on characters discovering and expressing their authentic selves. You'll read about individuals learning to speak up, stand out, or simply be heard in a world that doesn't always listen. These stories explore how finding your voice can be an act of courage, a path to self-discovery, or a way to create change. As you read, you might recognize parallels to your own journey of self-expression and the power that comes with knowing what you want to say—and how to say it.
