School Librarian Saturday: Sesame Street

In School Librarian Saturday, I’m going to share the websites, databases, apps, and other stuff I use with students in my K-5 teacher-librarian role, under the cover of internet darkness (see: the weekend).

Today we have a website that pairs very nicely with a The Monster at the End of This Book read aloud: Sesame Street.

What It Is: The site features educational games, videos, and interactive activities based on characters from the well-known children’s television show.

What’s Good About It: Just like the show, it’s well put together, ad-free, and inviting. The focus is on fundamental learning and social/emotional growth.

What’s Bad About It: It’s a thoroughly modern site, which means that it looks great, but is likely to run slow on older computers.

Last Words: So many children’s books and shows have disappointing online counterparts (I’m looking at you, Seussville). This is an example of how a children’s educational website should be. Highly recommended.
