Your Next Read is a neat little site that provides you with a web of book recommendations based on the authors and books you already like. Here's how it works; type in the title of a book you like or author you like and Your Next Read will provide you with a web of books that might also enjoy. Click on any of the books appearing the web to create another new web. Below you'll see the web of recommendations that appeared when I typed in Gary Paulsen's book Hatchet.

"Booktalking" is one of the most effective ways to get kids reading! Entice young readers to open a book, engage their interest, and invite them into the story. You are free to use these booktalks in a live verbal presentation without express permission or acknowledgement. You may either quote them word-for-word, or excerpt or adapt them any way you like. Be creative - make these booktalks your own and add them to your repertoire!

Microsoft’s Photo Story is a very user friendly program that is available from the Microsoft website at no charge. Using this program will not require a video camera or finding or converting video recordings. Instead Photo Story makes the video from stills, such as digital photographs and drawings, and sound files. To record your narration you will need to connect a microphone to your computer. The software will turn your images and sounds into a video at the end. The program will create video files which can be played using the Windows Media Player or any other video player with the capabilities of playing .wmv files

Digital Booktalk expands Chambers’ literary booktalk model by providing children with interactive visuals of the books that they used to only read. Many children are reluctant to read and would rather watch a movie made from books. It is our belief that you can use that reality as an educational advantage. Drs. Kenny and Gunter hypothesize that, if a student experiences a 2-minute book trailer done in the style of a motion picture, they will be better able to find a book that matches their interests, and will expand their reading to an ever-widening range. Furthermore, they believe that the book trailer production process is a fun and effective literacy pedagogy for today’s technologically advanced youth.
Currently, 114 trailers of classic titles are complete. More trailers are being added regularly by UCF students and by those submitted by students in K-12 schools across the country who use the UB-the-Director Curriculum Model in their classrooms. On-going research is being conducted as to the effectiveness of the site and its associated activities. -
