With schools moving rapidly to remote learning, Children's Literacy Initiative is doing its best to provide as many resources for parents, teachers, and children as possible.
A crucial part of our mission is curating and supplying high-quality books for students across the country. High-quality books are an integral part of literacy education, and with students learning from home, they’re more important than ever.
So, whether you’re a teacher planning a virtual read aloud with your students or a parent snuggling up with your kids at home, we’ve curated a list of wonderful children’s books for students from Pre-K to 3rd grade to help keep your children reading, even as they’re away from the classroom.
