As I’ve mentioned in my post about KidSpace, I did a paper on my LIBR 261 class under Penny Peck evaluating reader’s advisory and reference and homework help sites for kids age 6 to 12. I just wanted to share a list of these sites for any of you scouting for resources for kids.
Here’s the list for reader’s advisory sites for kids age 6 to 12.
1. Kidsreads at www.kidsreads.com;
2. Bookhive at www.bookhive.org;
3. RIF Reading Planet at http://www.rif.org/readingplanet/;
4. Good Reads for Kids at http://www.sonomalibrary.org/booklists/kids.html;
5. Kids Read in Kids Know It All at http://www.hcpl.net/kidsite/kidsread/ra.htm.
