The King School Series has delighted millions of young readers with lively stories about the kids in Mrs. Hall’s class. Today the kids are back with new adventures in this 64‑book collection of decodable readers for K–1 level students.

Townsend Press is conducting a new writing contest. Contest details can be found here.

Kids deserve books that are joyful, captivating, and fun.

The KING SCHOOL SERIES (KSS) has brought this combination to countless K–2 students.

And today, for the first time, the series has gone digital! Launching now on MackinVia and Overdrive, KSS ebooks and read-alongs (with audio + text highlighting) are here.
