The Classbook is our most popular program among teachers and is perfect for students grades K-6. Publishing provides a real-world experience for a classroom full of bright young students to get creative, learn about the writing process, build upon their reading and writing skills, and work collaboratively to create a book. Publishing a book with your class is cross-curricular and can be as easy as putting an existing lesson onto our paper.

This book isn’t just any book. Once your students have finished creating the pages, your kit is returned to us and transformed into a published book. Get started on your Classbook today by filling out the form!

It's more than a book. Publishing:

Motivates students to do their best work
Makes teaching writing easy and fun
Inspires creativity and hands-on learning
Encourages teamwork and collaboration
Builds a sense of pride and accomplishment
Teaches perseverance and showcases student progress

Why the classbook program is free

For each teacher who publishes a collaborative book with their class, we offer one FREE publishing kit and one copy of the hardcover book FREE to the teacher. All we ask is that parents have the option to pre-order a copy of the classbook.

Parents can pre-order their own copy starting at $25.95 with the parent order forms included in your publishing kit. Parents are under no obligation and the teacher’s book is still free. Not every parent orders and that’s okay. Students still love sharing the classroom copy with their parents.

100% satisfaction guaranteed

If parents purchase their child's book and are in any way dissatisfied, they can return it directly to us for a replacement or full refund.

Win money for your school

You're automatically entered for a chance to win up to a $5,000 grant for your school in our National Book Challenge.
