National Council of Teachers of English has two committees that select the best of children’s literature each year. Thirty works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry written for children in grades K-8 are selected each year as Notable Children’s Books in the English Language Arts (E, M) by a subcommittee of NCTE's Children’s Literature Assembly. The NCTE Orbis Pictus Awards for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children (G) annually recognize excellence in the writing of nonfiction for children.
