K-8 Book Adventure encourages kids to read. It is a Web site that includes parents and teachers and gets them actively involved in their children's reading. The main function of the site is to serve as a search engine for books on the elementary school level. The extensive book and reading list can be queried by title, author, or ISBN number. The site can also search for a book based on the user's interests and reading level.
Kids can take quizzes on the books they read and accumulate points that lead to prizes.
Fifty points merits a printable mask of Rex, the glasses-wearing dinosaur. One hundred points merits a printable Book Adventure Fortuneteller. A great benefit of Book Adventure is that it keeps records of student participation and performance. To use this feature, go to the registration section. Each section requires a separate user name.
