Celebrate Reading Series Books
Nod your head if you like to read. I suspect all of you did that. Now think back to your childhood reading and nod your head again if, at some point, you read a series book. Perhaps you are of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew generation. Or maybe you’re part of the Babysitter Club decade. Maybe you grew up with a boy named Harry Potter or you ventured into a land called Narnia. Whether your series was The Little House on the Prairie, Encyclopedia Brown, Animorphs, Goosebumps, Dear America, Twilight, Hunger Games, Boxcar Children, or The Bobbsey Twins, there is a great chance that if you’re a reader today, then as a child you read a series book.
In fact, the research on this is clear: a critical step in becoming a lifetime reader is, at some point, being a series book reader. This correlation between series books and lifetime reading was examined as long ago as 1926 in a study of over 36,000 readers. The conclusion reached, in 1926, when there were few series books, was that these books are an important part of establishing lifetime reading habits.
