Choosing quality children's literature that your students will love is key for the beginning weeks of school. Below I've listed ten of my favorite books for use in the beginning of the year (although these books will be reread many times throughout the school year). Getting students to engage in and enjoy read-alouds is critical for every teacher of young children. I've chosen each text for a distinct purpose....it may be the need to discuss students' feelings during the first week of school or simply to have students join in on a book that offers a repetitive, fun phrases. I wanted to share these books because there is still time to find them at a local library or order them on Amazon before the school year begins.
