Here’s some good news: The “What Kids Are Reading” report from Renaissance Learning shows that classic childrens’ books like Charlotte’s Web and Green Eggs and Ham and The Outsiders and Because of Winn-Dixie and Sarah, Plain and Tall are among the most popular books for our nation’s school children.
The report includes a chart of the Top 20 most popular books by grade level, with one chart per grade from first grade through eighth grade, and then a combined chart for ninth through twelfth grades.
And while Harry Potter moves up the report’s charts with each grade level, he doesn’t occupy a single No. 1 spot.
Take a look at Renaissance Learning’s report — scroll down through some introductory text and you’ll find the graphs that map the 20 most popular books by grade-level, both by gender and combined (overall).

This is very interesting stuff. Does anyone know of a similar report done for schools in the UK?
