Students are encouraged to visit appropriate author web sites to enrich their reading experiences.

Here are some of the best ones I have found this year.

www.williamsteig.com

www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~dkbrown/authors.html

www.kidsclick.org/

www.carolhurst.com/subjects/curriculum.html

Carnation Students can also join the world's largest Online Book Club by logging on to:

kwr.co-nect.net - This  site will allow kids to discuss literature, ask questions, and generally reflect on books that have had an impact on them.  Kids from all over the world can vote for their favorite books and meet some famous authors online.
