Websites for teachers

 

This website has a lot of really great literature for children. It has poetry written by other children, and short stories written by other children. You can also publish your students’ work on this page, or they can put their work on it.

I liked this site because it has a search which you can search the database and find books about your preferences, it has everything from setting to historical period to gender of protagonist. You could use this website to find a book you want to use to teach about any specific subject. Here is the direct link to the search:

This website could be really fun for children, because the author of the website reads the stories on video, so the students can watch and listen or read along with her.

I found this website by accident while I was looking for activities to do for disabled children, but it gives a bunch of great books to read to children, there is a whole list of books about disabilities. These would be great to read to children even if they don’t have disabilities.

The Rosetta Project is a website full of books online that students and you can go to and read books. I am going to link you directly to the library of books, but if you go home you can look at other things on the home page.

I think website could help you to create a lesson plan for a book, it has one for a book that was written by Nancy Polette, and has a whole lesson to go with the book.
