Author+Websites

toc flat =Author Websites Can Be a Great Resource!= Connections are so important to reading with meaning and staying motivated to keep reading new materials! When students find books they really like, I love to encourage them to look at other books the author has written to find more books they can connect to. The following authors have written books that I've seen students connect strongly to, coming back to read one after the other of their books. Their websites help reinforce and build further connections that help students feel like they know the authors and can begin to predict if they will like a book of theirs before they even read it.
