The BookPal buying guide
Choosing a topic for your readers
Readers start with a subject they care about, not a reading level. We help you browse by topic, match a title to your grade and price it by quantity.
Our view: a good topic shelf starts with the reader, not the catalog. A child who loves animals will read a harder book about them than one about a subject assigned to them, so we organize this section around what children and teens are curious about, then by grade. Start here when you want the conversation to start from a topic, and move to the grade shelves when your curriculum comes first.
Who orders by topic
Classroom teachers, school librarians, curriculum coordinators and literacy nonprofits. Schools order through our schools program and classroom novel sets.
