Upgrade your library with books other teachers love! The titles on this list are proven to be adored by educators and students alike. 

Your beginning readers will fall in love with the written word through read-alouds that celebrate building a strong vocabulary (Jovita Wore Pants), plus rhyming and repetitive texts (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?) that increase phonological and phonemic awareness. These types of classroom books are key for helping students learn to read.

Students’ social-emotional skills will flourish, too, with gentle and heartwarming stories that bolster self-awareness and self-esteem (There's Only One You), help ease anxieties (The Kissing Hand), and promote a culture of kindness in the classroom (What Does It Mean to Be Kind?).
