Looking for books that support school curriculum and great read-alouds for K-6th Grade?
<br>
<br>
Sadly, these books are becoming even more important for us as public librarians to keep-up with as teacher-librarians are being cut statewide. Check out Oregon teacher-librarian Kathy Otto's blog
<a href="http://www.teachingkidsbooks.com/">Teaching With Kids' Books</a>. <br>
<br>
The thing I appreciate most about Kathy's blog is that she provides brief, clear information about how each title can be used in classrooms/what specific area of the curriculum they support by grade level. Here is the intro from her blog to give a better idea
of what you'll find:<br>
<div class="hentry" style="width: 500px;">
<h1 style="margin-left: 40px;" class="entry-title"><font size="3">Connecting K-6 Teachers With Great Books
</font><font size="2"><a href="http://www.teachingkidsbooks.com/" target="_blank">http://www.teachingkidsbooks.com/</a></font>
<br>
</h1>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">My goal is to create a resource for teachers, home schoolers and anyone interested in quality books for children. Each title is one I have carefully evaluated and selected to support curriculum as well as your class read-alouds.
Elementary school librarians are losing their jobs nationwide resulting in the loss of this valuable resource for students and teachers. I have 35 years experience working with kids and their books, so you can consider me your personal librarian!</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">New categories and titles will be added weekly. You can submit comments, suggestions and curricular areas for which you need resources. Share books that you have had success with.<br>
