Texas Star Reading Program

Introducing the Texas Star 2017-18 Reading List for North Ridge Middle School

Watch book trailers on the North Ridge Library You Tube Channel.

The Texas Star Reading List is a reading incentive program for middle school students in Birdville ISD. The list is selected by BISD middle school librarians from the Lone Star reading list for students in grades 6-8, and recently published award-winning and highly reviewed titles. We encourage self-selection, allowing students to choose books on the list which align with their tastes and interests.
