Thank you to our partners for creating read aloud videos to celebrate the 7th annual African American Read-In Week! We are grateful to be able to highlight literature by and about the Black community and contribute to distance learning.
STUDENTS! Please enjoy the videos below from some awesome Oaklanders and celebrate Black History Month! Make sure to watch videos with supervision.
EVERYONE! We encourage you to engage in some follow-up activities after watching the videos to take learning to the next level. Please take a look at these Activity Guides for ideas to make read-aloud videos meaningful and extend learning:
