It is really heartwarming to see the world come together and share their time, resources and skills so that children’s anxiety is lessened, so they can still learn, and so they can have access to fun and exciting experiences.
Authors already give so much of their time for nothing, so, I am not surprised that they have opened their arms and invited children into their world. Authors are sharing their stories through read-aloud sessions, giving libraries and teachers permission to read their stories online and a whole host of other activities.
Today I am sharing with you links to authors, teachers and libraries that are sharing their time and talents with children. There is so much out there that I will need to share other experiences in subsequent posts, but let’s get you started today with some experiences that I think are fantastic! These are for a variety of ages.
Enjoy being in immersed in the wonderful world of literacy.
