How to Find a Good Book or Story
This information comes from Apple's Curriculum Center Literature theme.
Tell your parents and teachers about the Curriculum
Center, for they might want to go there for more good book ideas. (They'll
also find lots of other web information on other topics at the Center.)
If you're in Grades 4 up, try the Newbery
Awards and List
of Newbery Books to find a really good book. By going to the Calgary Site's Best Books
and Book Awards,
you'll find so many lists and good books that you won't know what to read
first.
If you love picture books, try Caldecott
Awards.
If you are in Grades 3 up, you'll appreciate Reader's
Theater Editions where you can find some very nice scripts (plays)
to read and download to your computer.
Here are some more places on the Information Highway where you can find
some short stories:
Webtimestories
PlanetZoom
PBS Storytime
