Reading: Useful Resources

Association for Library Services to Children
This site includes Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, Coretta Scott King, and other book awards given each year. 

Books That Don't Bore 'Em: Young Adult Books That Speak to This Generation (Blasingame, 2007)
This book includes lists of books that will appeal to a wide variety of students, as well as information about how to appropriately select books for yourself and your students. 

This is a free social networking site where readers can keep track of the books they have read and suggest books to their friends. Good way to keep in touch with former students.

This blog is filled with detailed reviews of children's books, authors, and publishers. 

Good resource for students. Includes lists of books that other teens have voted into the most popular book list.
