As I was searching for some clipart this morning at 4 a.m.- I got sidetracked by this website that I had never come across before… It is called BookTrust and they have resources for (basically anyone) who wants to promote a LOVE and passion for reading! As educators, we know that if you want your children to become literate, successful adults, we need to turn them onto reading; someway… somehow!
BookTrust has materials for educators, parents, media specialists … basically (like I mentioned earlier) ANYONE!! This website seems to be out of the UK (as the end of the url is .uk- I brilliantly put those clues together…) and when I clicked on “Sharing Books” – I downloaded some amazing resources that I am going to use in my classroom and share with my colleagues at work.
I am also posting what I have downloaded here- Again- these resources are not my own but came from BookTrust- and I highly recommend that you check them out!!
