These theme lists were created as new LRC kits were created, starting in 2014, and new titles were added up to December 2023. As such, some non-fiction titles will not be as current as titles available today. For the fiction titles, picture books and novels, there are some classic titles that stand the test of time. Note that all titles are at the teacher’s discretion, especially for the more sensitive topics. For novels, the first Interest Level (IL) rating is from the publisher. If there is an additional interest level rating or two, then they are from the reviewing journals, which tend to more accurately gage the appropriate interest level.
