'09 Reading and Learning
for Children
Recommended Websites for
Children and Their Families
As always, we know that OLG parents participate in the selection
of their
children�s reading materials. With parents and children working
together,
these websites can help create appropriate age/interest lists.
Hopefully,
our students will be motivated to read more, and parents will
become more
involved in their book selection. Our goal is to create a love
of books and
reading.

Summertime Favorites, a list of recommended readings, represents
National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)'s long-standing effort to
highlight
classic literature for young people from kindergarten through
high school.
Thousands of parents and teachers have used Summertime Favorites
since 1988
as a supplement to school reading lists to emphasize the value of
reading
classic books.
