Support Children’s and Teen Reading with GALILEO
Looking for a book to help your child or teen get interested in reading? Or, has your student read all of those books in that series and need a new series or a new author to read?
NoveList (for high school students) and NoveList K-8 (for elementary and middle school students) provide book and author recommendations for children and teens as well as recommended books lists. Earlier this week, we looked at how NoveList can help adults find books to read, but let’s focus now on using these tools for children and teens.
First, you can search for a favorite book title or author. Find your favorite book or author in the results list and then check out the links to Title Read-alikes and Author Read-alikes links to see recommendations. You’ll also see Series Read-alikes for some books.
Second, you can search for a topic of interest and then limit the results to the age range you want (Teen, Ages 9-12, or Ages 0-8).
Third, find book lists on the Home page of Novelist. Note that you can see recommended reading lists for many genres, including adventures stories, fantasy, mysteries, science fiction, and more. Just look at the list on the left of the Home page of NoveList. Note that when you change the age range, you’ll see different genres for that age.
Finally, here are a few tips we posted earlier as well as a few best books lists from 2012:
* Finished the Hunger Games and Looking for the Next Series to Read?
