Welcome Readers.....

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the perfect month for reading and doing a bit of Internet discovery.  I will be linking and updating great instructional sites for educators. Librarians, and students for each month/season....so all you need to do is click the side links. Just choose which season/month and which type of a reader/age group you are and begin discovering inspirational insights, free downloads, and interesting out-of-the-house connections. 

For all readers of every age....book reviews are being posted as soon as I have turned the last page so enjoy discovering some of my newest picks.  Simply follow the links to the right and scroll until you see a book cover or title that is catching your eye.... 

Don't forget to add the page to your favorites for quicker access or if you are an educator/Librarian save the page link as an icon to your desk top.

Remember......check back often.....new postings will be listed weekly,

Enjoy,

Mrs. K

“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading.  Something that will stretch their imaginations-something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.”
~ Katherine Paterson ~

Have you tried the new Play-aways at your public Libraries?  If not, go on-line and put one on hold.  The are just as light weight as an iPod, yet you have so many options for book-marking and sound speeds.  Even better than listening to the CD's in your car....... Check out this blog site about audio books.

  If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive.
Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee,
Forgive the secret sins I do not see,
O guide me, love me, and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen
