How to Teach with Picture Books

Dozens of sites review picture books, but only a select few actually provide teachers with not just recommendations, but also resources, related links, and lesson extensions.

I've aggregated nine fantastic sites that provide teachers with solid teaching tips for using picture books. Check them out! If your teach upper elementary or middle grades teachers aren't using picture books, they're missing a unique opportunity to reach all learners. These sites can help them learn how to work with you to choose picture books which will work in their classrooms.

The best news of all is that we're collecting sites for a second posting. So far we've got five sites (recommended by readers of the blog) that likewise provide valuable resources for teachers.

If you're a fan of picture books and know of a site we should include, please let me know!
