A lot of authors now have their own websites and blogs. All you have to do is search for their name on your favorite search engine. You'll even find that some of the book characters “Tweet” and have fan pages on Facebook.
If an author doesn’t have a website than a great place to check is the publishing company’s website. There you will find information about their authors and teacher’s guides for specific book titles.
Author websites are great for teachers, children and parents. Many of them will have sections for each specific visitor. Always make sure to preview the website ahead of time so you can see what sections are best for your child.
Teachers
- Lesson Plan Ideas – Need I say more? Make a unit of study based on the books of a specific author.
Parents
- List of authors’ books and a link to purchase them.
- Parent section containing helpful tips
- Printables that you can work on with your child.
Children
