Non-Fiction Reading List

A great way to introduce a student to non-fiction is to start with the Who Was/Is, What Is, and Where Is series. These books are technically classified as middle school reading levels; however, high school students can use them to help adapt to a non-fiction writing style. I have had my daughters and sons read these books and I – as an adult who loves to read – have read quite a few of them as well.

For my older kids, I have them read the book over a two-day period. This guarantees they are reading about 20 minutes each day. This means they can read three of these books in one week (we take Sundays off).

Between all the series, there are over 400 titles. I selected a variety of books from each series to give you an idea of what they are like. This is part of an Amazon Affiliates Program, so simply click on a picture and you can learn more about that book and be connected to others with similar topics that can be found on Amazon’s website.
