An Introduction
The purpose of this unique website is to provide teachers and parents ways to use children's and adolescent literature with students, especially those in elementary school. After retiring recently from education, I still wanted to work with teaching and learning, only on my terms. I decided to combine my love of reading, teaching and books to create this website.
It has been my experience that educators are overwhelmed with the business of teaching. I have found that many times teachers continue using the same curricular approaches out of necessity because of time constraints, their own family commitments, and, quite frankly, exhaustion. So in the process of putting my collection of more than 2,000 quality children's books up for sale on JWMercantile.com I decided to create a Website that would also provide some ideas for using those books.
On DragonLadyBooks.com you will find information about reading levels, first edition books (for those who want to begin serious collecting), ideas for teaching with books, and free downloads for classroom or home schooling use. If you have questions, send inquiries to: Question For DragonLady.
We hope you find this site useful and informative. Enjoy!
