Hey teacher!
I hope these holidays are treating you well and that you are fully geared up for another exciting and productive year with your students. Today, I want to share with you some of our favourite books to kickstart the new school year!
Have fun, learn something new and create lasting memories with your learners by reading these awesome books!
Reading is such a fun way to get learners excited about the upcoming year and help them feel comfortable. These books focus on resilience, responding to change, making friendships and facing fears. They are perfect for back-to-school and provide a fun, engaging way to settle into the new school year. Whether it's a story about making new friends, adapting to a new classroom or understanding feelings, these books are sure to bring a smile!
💡Our favourite part about these books is that your class can see them come to life with Vooks!
Vooks is an excellent platform for educators who are looking for a safe and free online library of books that come to life through animation, music, sound, and read-along text. The narration and animations in the books make it easy for students to understand and follow along. The library is constantly growing and one of my favourite back to school reads, "Our Class is a Family," is also available on the platform. With Vooks, you can bring the magic of storytelling to your classroom and encourage a love of reading in your students.
