Teaching Tools

The Teaching Tools website offers great reading lessons for each grade from K-12, choice booklists, and parent resources.I thought the list of teacher's choices of books listed is extremely helpful. http://www.reading.org/Library/Retrieve.cfm?D=10.1598/RT.61.3.7&F=RT-61-3_TC.html It could be quite useful to other teachers to get ideas for new literature and how to use it in their own classrooms.
One example of a lesson for high schoolers is based upon high-interest novels that Helps Struggling Readers Confront Bullying in Schools: http://www.reading.org/resources/tools/lessons/390.html
Also this site gives links to models of a T Chart, Character Map, Conflict Map, and Resolution Chart. This site gives you Winning titles .
A list of titles of the year’s Young Adults’ Choices is published each April, just before IRA’s annual convention.http://www.reading.org/resources/tools/choices_young_adults.html
