Looking for compelling and award-winning books that fit seamlessly into your classroom?

The Penguin Random House High School Collections offer educators the chance to expand beyond the traditional literary canon by including a diverse array of texts including best-selling fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novels. These collections feature unifying themes such as belonging, identity, and resilience, enabling teachers to connect these themes to current curricula.

Every title in the sixteen grade 9-12 collections were expertly curated to:

  • Reengage students with literacy and text
  • Diversify and enrich reading environments for all students
  • Improve academic performance across the curriculum
  • Better prepare students to participate in an ever-changing and demanding world

Each grade-level collection includes:

  • 45 Fiction and Nonfiction Books (fifteen titles – three copies each) allow students to read the same text, but even students who read different titles can still connect with one another and share their collective reading experiences.
  • Educator Handbook provides pedagogical resources to help educators incorporate the themes into their curriculum/ELA block including suggested activities, thematic connections, and essential questions.

Contact us to learn how to take advantage of our back-to-school 50% off educator discount and create a trajectory of success for students at all levels. The High School Collections are also available through your preferred education wholesalers and independent bookstores.
