“For the sixth consecutive year, the What Kids Are Reading – What Kids are Reading – the book reading habits of  students in American schools report is ready to help guide students to the books their cohorts nationwide are reading most. Based on data for more than 9.8 million kids from 31,195 U.S. schools who read over 318 million books during the 2012–2013 school year, the report includes:

• Top 20 books read overall and by gender for grades 1–12
• Top 20 nonfiction books read overall and by gender for grades 1–12
• A three-year look at reading trends for college and career-readiness exemplars

Rankings are based on the Accelerated Reader database, the largest of its kind. No other study captures students’ reading behaviors on this scale.”
