On August 5, 2021, members of the CLASS® Learning Community sat down with Nelly Palma and Regina Coates, two children's book authors featured in our Story Time Live series. We had a great conversation about their books and strategies to increase engagement for storytime. We hope you enjoy these strategies and find them helpful when establishing read aloud routines with your children. Be sure to check out our Story Time Live where Regina and Nelly read their books. If you would like to read these books aloud to your students, our specialists have created reading guides to help you facilitate and incorporate CLASS into your storytime. You can also watch the full recording of the meet the authors event here.
