Dive in to find stories to educate and inspire the next generation of voters! 🇺🇸🗳️📚 https://lnkd.in/gbY9E_CM

📢 Broward County! 📢 We are canceling our events at the Hollywood Branch Library this week. We hope everyone is staying safe, and we're looking forward to seeing you at our next event!

Whether it's a copy of "Hair Love" by Matthew Cherry or "Whoever You Are" by Mem Fox, there are some books children can listen to over and over (and over!) again. Teachers know this, too. Titles like, "Knuffle Bunny," "Click, Clack, Moo," and "Amazing Grace" continue to popular in home and classroom libraries alike. As teachers and caregivers, we might be wondering how rereading benefits children. In our latest blog, we outline some ways that rereading books aids comprehension, builds confidence, and provides the opportunity for quality time with your young readers!
