Hi Charles,

The What Kids Are Reading report (www.renaissance.com/whatkidsarereading) is a good place to start searching for books for your classroom that have wide appeal. Students are able to rate the books they take quizzes on in Accelerated Reader, but thus far we have found that there isn’t very much variation in these ratings. What Kids Are Reading is based on data for about 10 million students at over 31,000 schools nationwide who we know read these books from beginning to end, so we see it as our best insight into what students like and are inspired to read. Check back later in the summer to access books students have read beyond the top 20.

Hi Amy,

We haven’t yet analyzed book reading by urban/suburban/rural, but we are considering additional analyses so I appreciate the suggestion. We do plan to release results by state in the coming months, so check back with us later this summer. I’m glad you are enjoying the report!

I teach an 8th grade class and would like to have more books the students like in my classroom library.

Are the results ever broken down further? For instance, I’d like to know what the top books, by grade level, were in other urban schools across the country.
