Fill your class library with exciting titles from your students' favorite series!

By Scholastic Editors
July 1, 2024

Ensure every student has a book they can’t wait to read next with these favorite class collections featuring the most popular fiction and nonfiction series. Whether your students have formed a bond with the lead character of a series, or you want to explore an author’s style further, give your students more of the books they love. 

Offer students a mix of genres, topics, and characters that will entertain and sharpen skills as they lose themselves in the pages.

For instance, students in grades K-2 will enjoy Fly Guy — a hilarious series about the adventures of Buzz the fly. Meanwhile, The Magic School Bus Rides Again Grades 2-3, part of the early chapter book line Branches, is a great way to keep your students engaged and introduce them to STEM concepts. This set features four fast-paced books and explores themes like space and the ocean. 

For support restocking your book shelves this summer and beyond, consider starting a ClassroomsCount™ campaign — Scholastic's easy, free platform for educators to raise funds throughout the year for their classrooms and students. Start a campaign in minutes, share it with your community, and spend every penny as soon as you receive it.
