If you are looking for a book for the summer or during the
school year, there are quite a few reading lists available on the Internet
geared towards primary or secondary students. Many will contain brief
descriptions of the book, as well as reading level, too.
The links below are just to get you started. As
always, you can talk to anyone in the library for suggested reads at any time of
the year.

Summer Reading Tips for Parents According to the LD Online Web site,
"Studies show that most students experience a loss of reading skills over the
summer months, but children who continue to read actually gain skills." This
site offers tips that encourage parents to help children sustain reading
skills during the summer. Although directed to parents of children with
learning disabilities, any teacher might include these tips in an end-of-year
newsletter as a reminder to parents. |

Publish Your Book Reviews Have children publish their book reviews on Web
sites that offer readers the opportunity to share their opinions about books.
This issue of Barbara Feldman's Surfing the Net with Kids newsletter offers
links to a handful of such opportunities! |
