Web sites are separated by grade level, kindergarten through 2 nd grade, and based on the most recent Author Studies document from the county. Also contained in this document are other sites of interest when conducting author studies or for searching information about other authors/illustrators. Other author sites are listed at the end, and grade level is noted, if it is a county author study. Compiled by Stacey Ochs, MCPS, 5/02
