Grade Range: - 8
This is a nifty site that includes a variety of children’s book reviews, professional resources, and author pages from Avi to James Stephenson. Many of the review pages suggest activities to do with some or all of the books on that page.
In the Classroom
Clicking on the "Curriculum Areas" section will give you a wide assortment of options for many subjects including social studies, geography, math, science, and art as well as language arts. Be sure to scroll down past the advertisements at the top of each page. This site gives you links to buy the books (from Amazon), but the activities make it worth it.
At Home
If you have no idea what books to check out of the library for your son or daughter, explore this site. You can look by theme or book subject.
