My big goal this year has been to update and bulk up my library's non-fiction section. At the beginning of the year, the average age of our non-fiction books was around 30 years old. This is way too outdated and irrelevant for our kids!
Our kids deserve relevant, exciting, and current non-fiction books that will spark their curiosity and boost their learning.
These book series cover topics that my students ask me about constantly. This is what they are wanting and eager to read! These books will encourage their love of reading, and what more could we want?
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
