Oh. My. Gosh.
EEEK! I AM SO EXCITED! 🥳
I have been working on something behind the scenes that I know you all are going to LOOOOVE!
I have made an online database of EVERY mentor text (over 400!) that I have used in my resources!
This database includes:
✅all book info (title, author, genre, type)
✅links to the books
✅links to the resources where the books are used
✅grade levels of the resources
✅all of the skills and standards I cover with that book in that resource
✅and EVEN related resources I have created that you might want to use to go deeper into a skill or topic!
The best part is the way you can search and filter for specifics - check out the tutorials at the bottom of the webpage to get some ideas of how to utilize it!
This database will be updated with new resources in the future, too! I hope this is super helpful to you all- let me know what you think!! 😍
