Resource: Reading A-Z


http://www.readinga-z.com/

If you work with young clients, I highly recommend this website.  Reading A-Z was one of my favorite resources as a teacher, and I have found that it is also useful with my clients now that I am in social work.  The books are printable, written on a ton of different subjects, and divided by reading level, so if you want to use bibliotherapy in your sessions, you should be able to find an appropriately-leveled book for each of your clients.

Additionally, there are a lot of graphic organizers on the website that can be used in session.  Depending on the age of your client, there are graphic organizers that can be used as an "about me" project during the building rapport section of treatment.  There are also "cause and effect" printables that can help establish connections between actions and consequences for kids struggling with behavioral challenges.  The wide variety of graphic organizers can be used for a number of in-session projects.

The website has a lot of books and other helpful printables that you gain access to by paying a yearly fee of $99.95.  I would suggest sharing access with fellow therapists to split the cost.
