Educator Resources

James Patterson’s Pageturners are perfect for the classroom where students who read well and those who don’t can have a common experience analyzing and discussing the same book. Everyone can join in to debate character motivation, chart plot development, and argue about key issues of our time such as global warming, genetic engineering, the power of the mass media, and more.

Use our educator guides to get your students reading today! Don’t forget to check back soon—we’ll be adding new resources regularly. Have an idea? Let us know. Your resource could become a feature on this page for all educators to use.

James Patterson has always believed that the first step to getting kids reading is to give them a book that they can't put down!  And now he wants to help teachers and librarians accomplish that goal by providing educational resources tied to his Pageturner novels.  The fast-paced, action-packed books tackle appropriate classroom themes such as responsibility, teamwork, ethics, morality, and protecting the environment—and, most importantly, they are turning kids everywhere into readers.

The new MaximumRead.com allows James Patterson to deliver on his commitment to educators by providing exclusive educational resources, offering classroom discounts on book purchases, and developing unique promotions to reward educators and students for their creativity and commitment to reading.  The site also invites teachers, librarians and other scholastic professionals to participate in an online community designed to share ideas on how to make reading exciting for all kids.
