Common Uses
The TeachingBooks.net database is used in educational as well as home settings. Educators often use the site to host virtual author visits so students can "meet" and learn from professional writers via the audio and video resources on the site. Movies of Caldecott-winning illustrators demonstrate art processes. Audio excerpts are used by students, including English Language Learners, to independently learn the rhythm, pace, and sound of the books they are reading. Educators and students also use TeachingBooks.net to listen to poets read their work, get information for author/illustrator studies, and to find book guides for fiction and non-fiction titles.
