LitPick Book Reviews
Rating
0.0 stars

This site offers a reading and writing initiative that connects authors with readers.

Teachers can use this site to make reading and writing more relevant to their students. No matter the grade, LitPick could be a great fit for an independent reading activity. Students can read the reviews of books for free and can sign up as reviewers, request books that interest them to review, and then publish reviews as the culminating assessment. LitPick also supports a book group experience. In this model, an entire classroom can join LitPick as one group, and teachers can monitor the group from a dashboard. Students can all read and review the same book, or choose different ones. There's also an option to do video reviews, which might be good for older students as a way to extend learning beyond the written review.
