Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It’s all about love of lists, love of literature and bringing bookish people together.
This week’s list is all about those bookish websites and blogs that we visit frequently. I recently mentioned my favourite book blogs, so I’m going to pick bookish websites/blogs that very much help my career as a teacher!
Bookish/Teacher-y websites
- Goodreads– If I’m looking for a review of a book, Goodreads is always my favourite place to look.
- Books For Topics– This is a newish discovery of mine. I love that it recommends so many books for school topics.
- Book Trust– I love the Book Finder on this website and the recommendations!
- The Literacy Shed- There are so many wonderful videos, images and picture books to be explored on this website.
- Book Wizard– Another brilliant website with some great recommendations!
- Amazon- I’m sorry, sometimes books are much cheaper on Amazon, a teacher doesn’t get paid that much!
- Ashley Booth’s blog– I’ve loved Ashley’s lists to help pick suitable books.
- Pobble 365– Pobble 365 gives a picture every single day. I like using this website for building comprehension.
- Innerjay– I’m enjoying this blog from a new, fresh teacher!
- MrsPTeach– Mrs P’s blog encouraged me to look at my teaching of reading in a different way.
Great post! As a fellow teacher, I swear by thebookpeople.co.uk – box set bargains!
🙂 Oooh yes! How could I forget them? I need to do a shop with them soon.
Wow these look like good resources! Books for Topics sounds like it would be really helpful.
Thanks Greg! It really is. I find so many books for lessons that way.
This is a fantastic take on the TTT today! … and I must admit, I didn’t know a ton on that list (woops)
I just use them a lot as a teacher! 🙂
This is such a great take on the topic! Of course I know Goodreads and Amazon, but Books For Topics sounds especially helpful for teachers!
Thank you! Books For Topics is my favourite as a teacher. 🙂
Goodreads and FictFact are two of my favorites!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
Yay! I’ll check out yours now.
Great post! It’s hard not to love Amazon, right? Those Kindle deals, though. I haven’t heard of a lot of these websites, but I’ll have to check them out.
Exactly!
Goodreads and Amazon made my list this week too!!
Here’s a link to my TTT post this week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2018/08/top-ten-tuesday-favorite-book.html
Both wonderful sites!
Oh that is interesting!
Thank you! 🙂
I love this! As a fellow teacher, I am definitely going to check some of these sites out!
I hope you enjoy the sites!
I’m not familiar with many of these. Book Trust and Book Wizard sound like they’re worth checking out.
They are very valuable sources to me!
I love your spin on this week’s TTT!
Thank you! Always bringing it back to teaching! 😀
Goodreads, yes! I couldn’t manage my overwhelming book life without it.
I completely agree!
Controversial though it may be, I’m an Amazon girl. Their prices are too good… but of course, I do love browsing a book store, too. There’s just something about it that makes the book worm experience all the lovelier. 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Chrissi.
I know, I get sucked in by Amazon prices. Thanks for returning the visit, Rissi!
That’s pretty cool that you’re a teacher. I teach Spanish and German to high school homeschoolers once a week. We start our fall semester next Wednesday.
Thank you! I love teaching. 🙂 Good luck with the new semester!
I’ll have to look at Books for Topics and Book Wizard – thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome! 🙂 Those sites are fabulous.
Wow, I hadn’t heard of a lot of these! Books for Topics sounds like a cool site!
Thank you! That one is one of my favourites.
I love your list! I’m enjoying all the new bookish sites, especially Books for Topics.;)
I love that one! My go-to when I start a new topic!
Goodreads is at the top of my list. there’s always a little panic when it’s down. lol
Haha yes! I hate that feeling.
