Library Storytime – Fiction and Nonfiction

Description

MADE ESPECIALLY FOR:

• new elementary librarians
• elementary librarians on Specials rotation
• secondary teachers who are now elementary librarians
• busy parents who just don’t have time to create detailed storytime lessons

I have been all four of these at the same time! My storytimes are the lessons I would have wanted when I was a new, overwhelmed, and exhausted school librarian.

FAST FACTS

• Recommended for: Grades K-2
• Lesson Duration: 1-2 library lessons (about 50 minutes total)

***Please note that this presentation is designed to complement a read-aloud. The actual read-aloud story comes from you! I cannot include a recorded read-aloud due to copyright restrictions.
