Development Talks

Today BACs Reading Teacher, Ms. Jean, talks about the importance of good children’s literature. Below is a list to get you started with a few books that are rich with language, build empathy, and contribute to good conversations between you and your child!

This list is just a dip in the water. The world is so full of wonderful books. Find what your children enjoy. You can never have too many books about your favorite subject, animal or from your favorite author.

While the Tulsa Public Library is not physically open right now, but you can still access the Libby app with your library card. This is a great way to access digital books during this time of social isolation.
