Using the Subscription
For Children and Teens
The TeachingBooks.net database is used in home settings. Virtual author recordings are available so students can learn from professional writers via the audio and video resources on the site. Movies of Caldecott-winning illustrators demonstrate art processes. Audio excerpts are used by students, including English language learners, to independently learn the rhythm, pace, and sound of the books they are reading. Users can also listen to poets read their work, get information for author/illustrator studies, and find book guides for fiction and non-fiction titles.

Teaching Books has Early Childhood Resources available for parents. These include book suggestions, printables, instructional supports, timely topics, and ready-to-use ideas.
