Renaissance Learning, “the world’s leading provider of computer-based assessment technology for pre-K-12 schools,” released a report of the most read books by children in those grade levels. Results are based on over 3 million school children’s reading habits last year.
Among the top books are Harry Potter (of course), Charlotte’s Web, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, by my childhood favorite, Judy Blume. Dr. Seuss is still a beloved standby for the youngest folks.
The entire 56-page report is in PDF format here, or you can read a summary of the list at The Washington Post site.
