This site gives you the bibliographic entry for various kinds of resources. I used it to give credit for sources for the workshop writing I've been doing. I found it invaluable.

Interesting article about a theory that children are reading less due to helicopter-parent book choosing practices. I would like to see the research they did/used to base their theory on. I have certainly noticed that many of our students seem to to a better job of choosing books for pleasure reading when left to their own devices. I sometimes counsel parents to let children make their own choices when choosing pleasure reading, as classroom assignments are not negotiable. I believe students learn more about themselves as readers when allowed to fumble a bit in their choices - with guidance, of course.
