Category: Teachers’ Pick
We are thrilled to introduce the opening of a new page — Teachers’ Pick. This new collaboration between teachers from all across the U.S. and the A Book a Day Program was developed by Soyoung (So) Jung. Over the past two years, So has been the Assistant Manager for our program, and her thoughtful voice is behind all of our Instagram book presentations. Thank you, So, for opening new doors and for providing a shared space for teachers to express their love for books. A Book A Day strives to support our students and teachers in our community through the giving of carefully selected titles. Every week, we make selections for our young readers but we also focus on our teachers because they are the hard workers behind the success of our students. The following are some of the greatest who have volunteered to share their background as well as a recommendation of their favorite book. Are you an educator with a book you’d like to share? Email us at abookadayprogram@gmail.com to be featured on our page.
