Share What You're Reading
Book lovers unite! Here, students can write reviews of books or discover new books based on other kids’ recommendations.
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
Scholastic’s “Share What You’re Reading” lets students do exactly that — tell us about a book they’ve recently read or discover new reads based on other student’s reviews. Here’s how it works:
- Students can Write a Review, after consulting our helpful tips. Then, they can preview and send their work to Scholastic.
- What books are other kids reading? Students can Read Book Reviews to find out, sorting by grade or by genre, from the classics to fantasy and science fiction to spooky books and more.
