In last week’s post, I shared two websites to assist you with selecting and evaluating apps for use with young children. This week, let’s take a look at a similar website that will help accomplish the same thing but for websites for children.
Great Websites for Kids is sponsored by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association. “
Great Websites for Kids is a compilation of exemplary websites geared to children from birth to age 14. Suggested sites are evaluated by the Great Websites for Kids Committee using established selection criteria. Newly evaluated and accepted sites are added to the database three times a year. The committee also reviews all sites within the database twice a year to guarantee sites are still relevant, appropriate and accessible.”
Check out Great Websites for Kids here.
ALSC also maintains a similar website for parents, caregivers, and teachers, which you can find here.
