I wanted to pass a long a great website. It's called "TogetheREAD." You can find it by clicking here. TogetheREAD provides books lists, themes, and activities that you can do at home with your student. This is a site for ALL ages, including teens and adults. I know there's been plenty of times where I was looking for my next good book and have found it here. Tips for encouraging reading are also provided.
Another good place to find book lists for students is the website called "Great Schools" and can be found by clicking here.
Here is a sample entry from their list:
"Ivy and Beanby Annie Barrows, illustrated by Sophie Blackall (Chronicle Books, 2007).
A sure hit with kids starting chapter books. Parents need to know the award-winning book is about making a new friend, learning about differences and sharing an adventure. On the surface these girls appear very different. One wears dresses and reads books, the other has a sassy mouth and likes to get dirty. Some sibling issues occur, including fighting with an older sister, stealing her money, playing tricks on her and calling her names like "tightwad." With its over-sized print, frequent black-and-white illustrations and easy-to-follow plot, this first book in the series is a great beginning chapter book for kids who are just emerging from early readers. 120 pages. Awards: ALA Notable Children's Book, Booklist — Editor's Choice, Kirkus Reviews — Best Early Chapter Books.
Read the complete review on the Common Sense Media Web site.
Read Aloud:Age 5. Read Alone: Ages 6-9.
