In a recent discussion on an ALSC listserv, several people shared their favorite readers advisory websites for kids.  I thought I’d share them with you!

8 Readers’ Advisory Sites post on the INALJ (formerly I Need a Library Job) blog.
Through Badgerlink, we have access to Novelist K-8 (along with Novelist for older readers)
A Book and a Hug is a website operated by a former children’s librarian
ARBookfind is a resource created by the Accelerated Reader folks (Renaissance Learning) to help kids find books that will hopefully interest them,  that also fit the various AR criteria (reading level, age)
