TeachingBooks.net 2.0

A collaborative online community for all readers to share insights, strategies, and enjoyment
for multimedia book connections.

More Powerful. More Interactive.

Keyword searching quickly identifies online multimedia resources for books on most subjects (e.g., "civil war," "civil rights," "cats").
Browsing tools instantly identify resources for each educator's grade levels and curricular areas of interest.
Genre searching enhances Reader's Advisory capabilities (e.g., looking for mystery for middle school).
Dynamic searching increases ease and accuracy in finding materials about desired books and authors.

Identify and disseminate quality online resources for any books you use (at the national, state/province, district, and/or classroom level). In other words, you'll now have a collection of easily accessible resources maintained for you that support whatever books you are reading!

Resources are added weekly, with the collection now exceeding 20,000 multimedia materials (compared to 5,000 in 2004).
QuickSearch resources are dramatically expanded to correlate with often-used curricular strategies (Six Traits, Reader's Theater, etc.), as well as with national and state book awards.
New original content is continuously produced with award-winning authors and illustrators:
- "Meet the Author" movies—comprehensive virtual author visits filmed in authors' homes and studios.
- Audio Readings—award-winning authors introduce and read excerpts from their books.
- Name Pronunciations—authors and illustrators say their names ("Hello, my name is . . .").
