Read Alouds for Back to School: Book Buzz Edition!

Each month our School & Library team gets together on Zoom to talk books, and in our most recent BOOK BUZZ VIDEO, we bring you our favorite READ-ALOUD PICTURE BOOKS that will help the youngest readers address and process all the emotions associated with going BACK-TO-SCHOOL. We know this year especially, kids, parents, and teachers are feeling complicated emotions very deeply as they start this new school year—whether that’s virtual, in-person, or hybrid. It’s a weird time for us all, and in tough times, books can help to bring us together.

Looking for something upper elementary or middle school? Picture books still work but we also have a BOOK BUZZ VIDEO for CHAPTER BOOK and MIDDLE GRADE read alouds that are great for back to school! Best of all, you can watch these videos on demand whenever you want! Discover your next read aloud over at our Vimeo page!

We hope you’ll find our book recommendations helpful and that they will bring entertainment and comfort to your students. We wish you all a safe and happy return to school!

Watch all of our book buzzes on demand!
