Two Ways to Gear up for Fall

  1. Create or upload a class list of texts for next year or semester. Easily embed on a webpage, LibGuide, or learning management system page to provide a helpful visual that connects to resources for each title! You can even print bookmarks or flyers of these lists to share with families at Family Night!

  2. Analyze your lists, curricular texts, or titles in your classroom or library by using our Analysis Tool to gain insight into the cultural diversity, genre, recency, reading levels, and more represented. Use TeachingBooks tools to fill in any gaps.


One way that you, students, teachers, or anyone else in the community can connect with books any time of year!

  1. Find fresh award-winning titles to teach, promote, read, or recommend by browsing our collections or trying out the Diverse Books Toolkit!
