Fiction February: Read-Aloud Videos Perfect for In-Person or Remote Learning

A few months ago we celebrated Nonfiction November and shared read-aloud videos of some of our favorite nonfiction books. We had so much fun we thought we’d show some love to fiction next! Throughout the month of February we’re sharing read-aloud videos of twenty-eight different fiction picture books! The videos are yours to share with students and readers, whether you’re watching them in your classroom or library or using them for hybrid and distance learning. Featured read-alouds include two laugh-out-loud Monkey with a Tool Belt titles, fan-favorite Dino-Basketball, the celebrated and heartfelt story A Map into the World, and more! Keep reading to see the video release schedule or click here to download a PDF schedule.

Fiction February participants will receive an email every Sunday beginning January 30, 2022 with links to read-aloud videos for every school day that week (along with recommended related titles!) The videos will be available to watch through March 1, 2022.

This installment of Librarians We Love started out with a very interesting question: How can children who are just learning to read choose a book they will want to read?

Craig Dunlap, who works at Yealey Elementary School in Kentucky’s Boone County School District, reached out to let us know about a collaborative project with his students that is trying to answer that question. He recently sent a link to the results and shared this summary!

In her picture book debut, Kao Kalia Yang (author of The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir and The Song Poet) tells the heartfelt story of a young Hmong girl seeking beauty and connection in a busy world, lushly illustrated by Seo Kim.
