This website promotes New Zealand
authors, and reading in general. The
site is for all ages, and includes sections for children, parents, and
teachers. There is a comprehensive list
of New Zealand authors’ biographies, as well as author spotlights and book
reviews. Children can upload their own
reviews and creative writing. Useful
links are also included.
The brainchild of New Zealander Wayne
Mills, Kids’ Lit Quiz is an annual international competition which aims to
encourage reading and reward children who are keen readers. The site includes all the details about
participating in the competition, testimonials from teachers and school
librarians, and past questions to practice on.
This website has an extensive
range of reviews and articles on books, technology, and literacy related
topics. Although the full list of
reviews is only available to subscribers, there is still a wealth of
information available for the casual reader.
Several blogs and free newsletters are also available.
