What is it?
TeachingBooks is a website that aims to enrich the reading experience for educators and kids alike. On the educator side of the teachingbooks website, educators can search for specific books or browse the website's collection depending on what the educator is looking for. Once you find the book, the webpage for that book contains a lot of resources specifically for that book. Resources includes information on the book such as awards won, book resume, book description, book talk, author interviews, lesson plans, activities, and more! On the student side of the teachingbooks website, students can play book related games, find books that they may like, create a reading list, browse diverse books, and more!
Pros:
- It's easy to use for educators and students
- Encourages reading and literacy
- Many free resources and information
- A large selection of books on the website
- promotes diverse books
- QR codes are available for the book webpages
Cons:
- Some premium features and resources require a membership
- May not have the book you're looking for
Overall:
I love using the teachingbooks website. All of the book information and resources are things that I can count on to be accurate and appropriate. Teachingbooks can easily be used in the library by using the lesson plans and activities, playing the author interviews and book talks to the library class, and putting the QR codes for the book inside of the physical book to encourage the reader to learn more about the book and books that are related to that one.
I highly recommend using the TeachingBooks website!
