Teachers Pick: What Are Your Favorite Books to Teach in Class?
See which books made the list of teacher favorites!
Teachers, especially those in elementary school or those who specialize in language arts, go through an extensive list of books every year. We were curious about their favorites! As a part of our 2015 Summer of Literacy program, we asked educators on Facebook to share about their favorite books to teach in class.
Here is the full list of books recommended by teachers, for teachers:
• If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
• The Mouse and the Motorcycle
• The BFG
• Wonder*
• The Secret Knowledge of Grownups
• Alexander and the Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day
• Short History of Nearly Everything
• The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything
• 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
• Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?
• Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library
• Stuck
*These books were recommended more than once!
Sometimes, it’s hard to choose a single individual book. A few of teachers pointed out their favorite authors and book series to read in the classroom:

Hachiko Waits should be on the list–I read it every year to my fifth graders–not only is it a true story, but it teaches so many lessons of love, honor and commitment.
Books by Arnold Lobel is my favorite children’s author.
The Wishgiver, The Bear’s House, The Hundred Dresses, Enemy Pie, Miss Hickory……
Anything Eve Bunting or Jacqueline Woodson
