#15 Shelfari.com


Shelfari.com is a great site for kids to talk about books. This social media site is focused on books. Members can build virtual bookshelves, discover, rate and discuss books, and participate in online groups.
The kids love to use because they compare it to myspace and facebook. They are able to chat with others, add their pictures, add and invite friends to their page. The kids are able to focus on nothing but books and they are able to give others book recommendations. The site has so many books available that kids can choose from to add to their list of books that they have completed. This site can be used a motivation tool to get kids to read.
My students are eager each day to log in to chat with others. I myself love this site!
