Digital Storytimes will save you so much time! I design them specifically for new elementary librarians, especially those who are on the Specials rotation and/or are simply busy parents who just do not have time to create detailed storytime lessons.
 
These are the lessons I would have wanted when I was a new librarian and mom to two young boys.
 
The slides walk you right through a storytime! You will need a TV, monitor, or screen in your story area.
 
If your school is distance learning or switches to distance learning, this lesson is all ready to go on Googleâ„¢ Slides! All you need to provide is the story to read aloud.
