Scholastic Book Search Widget
Posted on August 5, 2008 by Nedra Isenberg
I found out about this handy widget by Scholastic from a participant in Susan Silverman’s Online Autumn project. This widget allows you to search for a book by title, author, or keyword. Once you enter the information you are taken to the Scholastic site. Now you can see the reading level. The teacher can select how it is leveled; DRA, Lexile Format, Grade Equivalent, or Guided Reading. From the same page teachers can also find similar books at the same reading level. I think this will be a handy tool for elementary classroom teachers as well as parents.

Isn’t this a great widget? I found it a few months ago when someone in our twitter network ran across it.
There is a small problem with this widget. I keep a widget workshop wiki, and it won’t download to this wiki. Others tell me that it won’t download to various online venues, like some types of blogs and wikis. Just a heads-up!
