Library or Classroom Project- Did you Know?
An interesting and little different author/ reading project is an Author Poster, which could be do as a small group or individual project . Students choose a favorite author to research . They will find interesting biographical information about the author. "Did you know?" can be the heading and the information can be listed in bullets or around appropriate images or clip art or the authors photo. This poster will also have a list of titles written by the author.
This will provide students with good suggestions for excellent reads. The posters can be displayed in the library, in the hallways and in classrooms. After having several done, the posters can be swapped out for different ones to provide variety, interest and surprise.

This fun site leads you to other sites which have reviews for other grade levels. I am not sure if this is an expansion of the 2nd grade reading site with reviews that I explored in an earlier post. But the site has lots of ideas for books . You may want to check this out for ideas for book purchases or show to your teachers if they ask for books on a grade level.
This would also be great for public libraries to have linked to their website if you get a lot of questions about good books for a certain grade / age level.
There is also Common Core news and tips . You can search by categories . A monthly newsletter is offered . Most importantly is the side bar where you can sign up to see other grade level book recommendations!
