Reading Resources for Kids -- Websites

Here are several excellent sites if you are interested in children's literature, which we encourage through the "Take Time to Read" program:

· The Center for the Book at the Library of Congress helps oversee the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature – www.childrensbookambassador.com
· …in collaboration with the Children’s Book Council – www.cbcbooks.org
· National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance – www.thencbla.org
· The center also oversees a new website that provides reading resources especially for kids and teens, as well as adults, educators, and parents –
www.read.gov
