Today, we’re sharing our favorite beginning-of-the-year read-alouds. These are just some of the books we use in our classroom. We’re always adding to and deleting from our collection to keep our read-alouds inclusive and up-to-date. Our classroom libraries and read-alouds must reflect our students and highlight those who are different from us.
