Ten Read Alouds (and some FUN websites and apps too) to Celebrate World Read Aloud Day!
Today is World Read Aloud Day! To celebrate I thought I’d share 10 of my favorite books to read aloud with kids. These are books my students have enjoyed year after year and my own kiddies absolutely LOVE. As an added bonus, Im also sharing with you some links to cool websites and apps where you can access some of my favorite read alouds (and many more). Just make sure to scroll all the way to the end of this post! 🙂
