VRC Site of the Month- TeachingBooks.Net

WHAT IS TEACHINGBOOKS.NET?TeachingBooks.net is an easy-to-use website that is dedicated to adding a multimedia dimension to everyone's reading experiences of children's and young adult books. TeachingBooks.net strives for all teachers, librarians, students, and families to use today's online technologies to meet and learn from the author when reading his or her book.
TeachingBooks.net contains thousands of resources about fiction and nonfiction books that are used in K–12 environments, including:

-Movies of authors being interviewed in their studios
-Authors introducing and reading their books
-Stimulating book discussion and activity guides
-Authors saying their names ... and much more!

To use TeachingBooks.net, just search on a title or author of interest, and find materials that will enliven and add depth to discussions, lesson planning, and reading experiences. Additionally, the purple "Browse" bar on the bottom of the home page quickly identifies resources pertaining to specific grade levels and curricular areas.
