Lists of best sellers, publisher book-sale data, and online booksellers can tell you which books are purchased most often, but they do not know, like we do, which books students actually open and read, cover to cover.
Renaissance Learning has unique insight into the books kids are reading, and we are pleased to share this information with you in What Kids Are Reading: The Book Reading Habits of Students in American Schools.
What Kids Are Reading, 2010 Edition presents data on student book reading, captured via Accelerated Reader (AR)—the world’s largest single database of student book-reading behavior—including:
- The top 20 books most widely read in grades 1–12, overall and
by gender
- The top 20 books most widely read by low- and high-achieving students
- The top 10 nonfiction books and books for use across the curriculum
The report also features contributions from popular children’s authors Gary Paulsen, Jeff Kinney, and Lois Lowry, as well as a foreword by cognitive scientist Daniel T. Willingham (author of Why Don’t Students Like School?).
