Since EPA's members provide paperback and prebound books to so many schools and libraries, we thought you might find it helpful if we provided you with a list of our best selling authors for children. We polled our distributor members to find the top 50 best selling authors for grades 1-4 and the top 50 for grades 5-8, and we list them here so that you can see who's popular with your peers. The selection of the top 100 authors was based solely on paperback unit sales figures for 1998 provided by our distributor members.

The new Reading Rainbow is one of the most handy for teachers, librarians, parents and kids... The web site has individual sections - depending on whether you're a teacher, parent, librarian or child - where you can find activities for the week. Click on "Wednesday", for example, and you'll find the list of feature books, the review books, the supplemental books and related episodes to that day's program. As appropriate, you'll also find curriculum suggestions and teacher guides.

"Go in the back door when teaching writing," is the advice Jane Ellen Ibur gives teachers in the opening of LIFT's newly published Teaching Literacy through Creative Writing manual. "Let confidence build through constant encouragement of effort, improvement, constantly pointing out the good, the progress. Then point out the mechanics."

At ZERO TO THREE, we concentrate exclusively on these miraculous first years of life - the critical period when a child undergoes the greatest human growth and development. It's also a period when you - the parent or professional - have the opportunity to make a great impact and positively influence a child's future. Our mission here is simple: to help children best navigate their first three years of life in order to develop a solid intellectual, emotional and social foundation. For parents and professionals alike, there's always something new and exciting to be discovered! So, set aside some time to explore - and come back often and grow with us!
