BTFA - Book Trailers For All | Bright ideas - 2 views

  • Book trailers are a great way to encourage reluctant readers to want to find out more about a story, and to give confident readers a taste of different genres. Book trailers can be a way to show literature circle groups the novels they can choose from; they can be shown in the library during lunchtimes (if your library has an IWB or tv monitor); they can be a way to encourage students to contribute reviews to review sites, and; book trailers can also be a form of assessment.
  •  
    Another website sharing book trailers - breaks them in to grade levels and could be a good starting point for students.

Smories - new stories for children, read by children - 0 views

  •  
    This is an interesting website which allows children to hear other children their age reading stories, some would be familiar, whilst others might be new. The stories are written by several authors who contribute to the site, and all the videos are screened before they are uploaded. Many of the videos include captions in other languages, so it may be a good tool for language learning, too.
