NoveList K-8 helps parents, teachers, and librarians improve literacy, connect reading across curricular areas, teach reading and writing concepts, and engage young readers. If the library is closed or your favorite library staffer is busy, you can still get book recs from NoveList K-8! It’s available 24/7 on your library’s website, and because it’s connected to the catalog you can place holds right away.
It’s a fun and interactive way to uncover their next great read!
How does it work?
Explore titles by Story Element on the homepage, where you can mix and match their mood or favorite genres, themes, and subjects to create a personalized list of book recommendations. Does your young reader like to read about animals who act like humans? Do they like bold illustrations? No matter their mood or preferences, NoveList K-8 Plus helps you get to the root of what your young reader loves about a book and delivers great recommendations.
Need a quick list of books that are just right for a specific grade? Or maybe a student needs a book of a specific length? On the Advanced Search page, you’ll find limiters for Grade Level and Number of Pages. You can also filter by Lexile® score and Accelerated Reader™ interest level, book level, or points. A search of AR levels can also be paired with a genre, appeal, or topic.
Help your young reader find fresh new titles on NoveList’s homepage under Books with Buzz. These titles are the ones mentioned in the media! New Series Titles allow you to keep up with the latest books in popular series. You can also sign up for Alerts so you're notified when their favorite author publishes a new book or adds to a series they love.
For the easiest search, try the Curated Lists. It's your shortcut to finding the best of the best. They’re located on the left side of the homepage and span all genres and age levels.
