This website: http://www.teachingbooks.net/home/ is a fantastic resource to help find books to bring into your classroom to help teach the curriculum objectives. You will find links to various lists of books based on grade level and award nominee's. After clicking on a link, you will see a list of book titles, authors, grade level appropriateness, and subject areas taught (or areas that this book can be integrated into) within the book. It even has links to specific author websites, book readings, book guides, and author pronunciations. On the home page, there is a featured author which aids teachers in selecting books according to interesting author styles or genres.
This website would be perfect for any teacher for grades Pre-K-8 because it makes integrating subjects and bringing literature into the classroom so effortless. I believe that improving literacy in future generations as well as instilling the love of reading could be outcomes of actively using this site within your classroom curriculum.
I found this website by using the "Yahoo!" search engine and using the search string: "using books to teach elementary lessons". It was the first site that came up among other useful ones. However, I thought this was the best site for user friendliness, and relevancy.
