| Description: | The "Teacher Book Wizard" offers three different ways to search over 50,000 books from all publishers to find just the right book for your child. As Charlotte explained, "If you type in the name of a book your kid likes, it will show you similar titles in the same reading level with the same type of content. It's free - no login required! This is a real gem - and a real time saver! When you get to the site, you can jump right in and use the search engines that include: *Quick Search - Just enter a book title, author or keyword. Once you've found the exact book you are looking for - you can click on the author's name to read his/her bio, and (in many cases) access free lesson plans, vocabulary lists, and extension activities written specifically for the book. *Leveled Search - Search for books and associated lessons and activities by preferences such as "Interest Level" and "Reading Level" for grades PreK-12. You can also search by Book Type, Subject, and Genre. *BookAlike - Enter a favorite book title, set the reading level scale (same, easier, harder), click "Find Similar Books" and BookAlike performs it's magic rendering a selection of titles your child is sure to enjoy. To really appreciate all that Teacher Book Wizard offers, take the short video tour. Here's the direct link: Bookmark this site - it's an invaluable resource you'll want to utilize often. |
