Susan Hauptman's List: Booklists and Online stories

The Screen Actors Guild brings this online streaming video program featuring SAG members reading children's books aloud. Each book includes accompanying lessons and activities. You have the option of having the text of the story off or on.

This is a great resource. It is James Patterson's site Read Kiddo Read. He dedicates his site to "making kids readers for life." There are many book suggestions divided by age (zero-eight, six and up, eight and up, ten and up) and other lists (new books, sure picks for girls, sure picks for boys) with summaries, and (my personal favorite) a list at the bottom of each book that states, "If you like this book, try...." Topics include (for ages 8 and up, for example) Fantasy and Other Worlds, Just The Facts, Page Turners, Real World Fiction, Action/Adventure/ Mystery. There are also author interviews with text and audio.
