Publisher and Library Resources

During my web browsing before the semester gets under full swing, I came across the following web gems.

2011 Top 10 Book lists.

Penguin Teachers Corner - has "Off the Shelf" magazine and lesson ideas.

Puffin Website - bright, cheerful website with great reviews.
And its education centre.

International Children's Digital Library - vibrant collection of childrens picture eBooks available to view online.


I finally decided it was time to investigate my local library and through their website I found the OverDrive site with a fantastic to digital collections and eBooks.


Well, semester started again today. I suppose that I should get on with my readings.

2012 - National Year of Reading

Just got very excited when I discovered that next year is being dubbed National Year of Reading.

Sounds like there are some fascinating events being prepared along with a nation wide moving exhibition of Alison Lester's original artwork for the book "Are We There Yet?"
