Series - ously Books are Great!
CSLA Southern Region Workshop 2023
Series books are a great way to get students hooked on reading. There have been many studies that prove that students who read series read more, build reading confidence, and build comprehension and fluency. (Hooked on a Series - HIP Books)
Walk away with ideas you can implement immediately including print ready reproducibles that feature your series. Ideas include: creating a series binder, bookmarks, series starter booktalks, read the movie posters, read alikes, display ideas and dynamic shelving.
Why Read Books in a Series?
How to Promote Your Series:
How to Look up Series Order:
To look up series order, use Kent Library District What's Next: Books in Series
Another good series site is: Books in a Series from Nebraska Library Commission
Series on Teachingbooks: just type series in the center search bar. Don't press enter. You'll see options pop up, then click Featuring Browse All Series. Choose your series and it will auto sort in series order. After you see all the series, you can also use your filters to find the "just right series."
