Hi! It’s Wednesday, April 7, 2010 and time for Language Arts at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
The Literate Mother
A Maryland ClickScholar recommended this website that provides parents with free subject matter ratings of books for youth and young adults. The mom-owners of this site objectively screen and rate literature for:
- Language
- Violence
- Sexual Content
- Adult Themes
As explained at the website:
“Whether you have a sensitive child who you want to steer away from certain topics, a voracious reader you would like to guide toward more appropriate books, or just want to be informed on the subject matter to which your young reader is exposed, we hope you will find help at TheLiterateMother.org.”
When you get to the site you will see some featured book reviews. Click on “Listings A-Z” on the menu to find the book titles that have been previously reviewed.
Sign up to receive the free ezine (published twice a month) with info on the latest book reviews.
These reviews provide parents with information to “discourage certain books, discuss sensitive material or simply strike up a conversation with a child about the book he or she is reading.”
