Digital Storytime | Letter M

See a demo of one of my storytime lessons (Book Care) here.

This is a major time-saver! It’s super-cute and almost no prep. It’s perfect for new elementary librarians, especially those who are on the Specials rotation. This is the storytime lesson I wanted when I was a new librarian and busy mom of two small boys.

For face-to-face learning:

The slides walk you right through a storytime! You will need a TV or monitor in your story area. Move through the storytime song, sign language word of the day, and discussion of words that begin with the letter M.

For distance learning:

If your school needs to go digital this year, this lesson is all ready to go on Google™ Slides! All you need to provide is the story to read aloud. Don’t worry! I’ve included a list of great “M” read-alouds for you!
