Find your next cozy read with TeachingBooks' Reader's Advisory tool!

Reader's Advisory

Do you know that your TeachingBooks access includes a reader's advisory tool? This is a fantastic way to help you and your students discover new books that match specific themes, reading needs, or favorite authors.

On every book's title page, you'll find "Discover Like Books," a feature that instantly suggests similar titles that share a title's characteristics. You can also explore our Reader's Advisory home page, where you can search for:

  • Books Similar to a Favorite Title
  • Books by Author, Subject, or Series
  • Books by Reading Level

Whether you're looking to support instruction, guide independent reading, or simply help students cozy up with the perfect winter read, TeachingBooks' reader's advisory makes discovery intuitive and engaging.

How are you using theses Reader's Advisory features? Let us know!

Happy reading!
