TeachingBooks.net Launches a Free Online Curriculum Resource Center About Series Books and Their Authors
TeachingBooks.net, a K–12 online database that infuses multimedia about books and authors into reading, has just launched a free online digital collection and curriculum resource center featuring popular series books.
www.TeachingBooks.net/Series
"Elementary students love series books. The familiarity and comfort of knowing the characters, the setting, and the plot lines make reading pleasurable for children who devour book after book in a series," reflects Nick Glass, Founder & Executive Director of TeachingBooks.net. "This is especially true for emergent and newly independent readers, whose reading success with one title encourages them to seek similar books."
The newly produced Series Books Curriculum Resource Center includes hours of original audio interviews with popular series authors and hundreds of online resources to support the enjoyment of more than 40 favorite series—including fantasy, mystery, realistic fiction, and biography. The Series Books Curriculum Resource Center helps busy educators find inspiring multimedia resources that can be easily integrated into their literacy activities.
The collection gives educators quick and easy access to discussion questions, activities, and multimedia resources to enrich conversations about series books. It also enables students, teachers, librarians, and families to learn directly from award-winning authors of their favorite series books about how each series came to be written.
"TeachingBooks.net recognizes the power that series books can have in the lives of children relatively new to reading, and is excited to enable all readers to meet and learn from the authors of these great books," continues Glass.
The Series Books Curriculum Resource Center is free for anyone to use or link to: www.TeachingBooks.net/Series
Please enjoy and share this resource as you see fit.
About TeachingBooks.net: TeachingBooks.net is an easy-to-use website that adds a multimedia dimension to the reading experiences of children's and young adult books. The online database, started in September 2001 in Madison, Wisconsin, is developed and maintained to include thousands of resources about fiction and nonfiction books used in the K–12 environment. More than 25,000 North American schools have licenses to TeachingBooks.net.
This Series Books Curriculum Resource Center is the third digital collection produced by TeachingBooks.net and made freely available to everyone. In June 2009, TeachingBooks.net released The Coretta Scott King Book Award Curriculum Resource Center that was lauded with numerous recognitions, including an American Library Association ALSC Best Website certificate. The Author Name Pronunciation Guide contains more than 1,000 originally produced recordings of authors introducing themselves by telling the story of their names. All three collections are freely available from the www.TeachingBooks.net home page.
