The Demeter School

After posting yesterday about the National Education Association’s Read Across America Day, I began to check out some links from their articles. I could not resist but share these with all of you…

Random House (teacher’s page) offers tons of ways to search for books. By theme (hint, hint anyone doing any projects), by grade or age level, and authors. You can also join your favorite book series classroom clubs, such as Magic Tree House!

Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat site provides links for EVERYONE in the community to participate in Read Across America Day. Did you know Dr. Seuss only used 236 words to write The Cat in the Hat?? Also, for everyone who sends Dr. Seuss a birthday card, they will donate a book to First Book. What a great way (and EASY WAY) to donate books to children who might not ever have had a “first book”.

This leads me to the next site I researched, First Book. This site is devoted to working with publishers and the community to donate books to low-income children. The webpage tells you how to get involved and links you to more resourceful literacy sites!
