Read More »The best-selling I Survived series has hooked countless children on history, science, and reading. These historical fiction books explore the world’s most exciting and terrifying events — from volcanic eruptions to world-changing acts of war — through the eyes of kids who survived them first-hand. Because of that, they're the perfect reads to get your child enrapt in learning and interested in the subjects they're exploring in class. Here, Lauren Tarshis, author of the I Survived series, shares her best tips and recommendations for helping your child dive into the series and walk away an avid reader (and history buff). Insider Tip: You can now order the newest chapter book in the series, I Survived #20: I Survived the California Wildfires, 2018. 1. Be mindful of younger readers and allow their interests to dictate where to start. It’s no secret that the I Survived books appeal to a wide range of ages, from younger elementary students to high school students or even adults reading with their kids. It’s best to let kids in grades 3 and up start the series by choosing what piques their interest. While some kids are fascinated by topics like tornadoes or volcanoes, others might want to begin with the American Revolution or World War II. If your younger child is interested in the series, remember that the books cover some very intense topics. “My characters experience loss and frightening events, so it’s important for parents to consider their younger child’s sensitivities,” says Tarshis. Some books are better for young readers, such as those covering the events of the Titanic and the Hindenburg disaster. While these topics can be weighty, they’re not as complex as 9/11, the Nazi invasions, or other World War II topics. Tarshis also generally doesn’t recommend her series for kids younger than third grade (and sometimes end of second grade, depending on the child). 2. Group I Survived books together to enhance your child’s understanding of topics. While each I Survived book can be read independently, there are a number of ways to group the books together to strengthen your child’s background knowledge of certain historical events — or build upon their interest in a particular topic.

In both cases, their demise shocked the world and changed ideas about technology.” “Kids also tell me they love reading books that are set in the same general time period, which can give them a strong grounding in that era,” adds Tarshis. “They observe many shared details, but also pick up so much more as they read each book.”

Read More »As your child learns about different periods of time from their teacher, the I Survived series will build upon that knowledge. What’s more, it’ll get them hooked on learning by portraying events through the eyes of kids their age. Some books can support your child’s curriculum about major wars, while others can enhance learning around westward expansion and the gold rush. “I try to pack the books with information so kids come away with core knowledge about history and science,” says Tarshis. “It’s great when what they read at home meaningfully connects with what they’ve learned in class. Having that background knowledge can give kids confidence and help them engage more deeply in school.”
