Educating Emme

• Apr. 22, 2006 - The bibliomane posts book links for kids and moms too

I've been trying to find a website for Jennah to submit book reviews to.  I haven't found exactly what I want, but I must say that there are a whole lot of good sites online for children regarding books.  I'll list a few of them below.

 

And by the way, in case you aren't EXACTLY sure what a bibliomane is, here is the definition: 

 

Definitions of bibliomane on the Web:

  • A book-nut (or worse ; ).

 

 

I think one of the coolest things about being a homeschooling mom is getting invited to the Scholastic Warehouse book sales!  In case you've never been, I'll post the link where you can click on your state and see where your local warehouse is! 

http://teacher.scholastic.com/fairs/warehouse/

 

Kids Read is a site where you can find reviews from authors, ideas on how to start your own book club, and news about upcoming books:

http://www.kidsreads.com/index.asp

 

At Building Rainbows, your child can post his/her OWN review or read reviews written by their peers.  Also has a page to tell you how to write a good review.  http://www.buildingrainbows.com/browserecent

 

Stone Soup is a magazine for young writers and artists.  You can read about them, or submit your own work!  http://www.stonesoup.com/index.html

 

Kids on the net is a site where kids can learn about creative writing, post articles all about themselves, take quizzes, and play word games:

 http://kotn.ntu.ac.uk/index.htm

 

Just for Kids Who Love Books is devoted to girls aged 8-14.  You can read reviews, write about your favorite books, meet new friends, and join in ongoing discussions of books.

http://www.alanbrown.com/

 

Kids at Random is a site hosted by Randomhouse books.  You can read  about upcoming books, or visit pages with your favorite Randomhouse characters.  http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/home.pperl

 

Finally, at Senvara, MOMS can look at a year-by-year guide of books recommended for homeschoolers BY homeschoolers:

I hope you enjoy the links!  Keep encouraging those kids to read!

My goodness! Where do you get all these neat ideas to post? The school where I worked last year always had Scholastic book sales and in the spring it was a clearance sale. I used to get a teacher's discount and buy some treasures for the grandkids. Blessings.

Thanks so much for the links! I can't wait to check them out. I have been trying to finish up the remaining few days of our required school days so we can relax a little and try adding different activities to our schedule or stopping some for a week or two to get refreshed. We do school year-round, even on weekends, which makes it easier to keep the children all interested in learning all the time.

I also appreciated your comments about our new homeschool name. It had not occurred to me to get formal for a while, but now the children are a little more excited because when people ask where they attend school, they can say "Wonder-Land Academy", not just "we're homeschooled"...Most people are a little curious, but at least we don't get that disdain or "deer-in-the-headlight-look" right away, lol!!!
