GoodReads and GoodReads for Kids


Teachers who can inspire kids to read tend to have two major characteristics. First, they read widely for their own pleasure. One great source to read reviews of books and talk with other readers about their top picks is the website GoodReads.com. (You can find me there under the user name mbmullin16@gmail.com.)

coming authors movies audio search

Another important aspect is being familiar with many books that kids will want to read. This site is a good tool for finding out what kids are reading and what their opinions are.

Have fun exploring the books at these sites.
