Read-Aloud Book Recommendations for Parents and Teachers

In this Unabridged Podcast episode, we're discussing books for all levels that we believe would work really well for read-aloud choices. We were thrilled to be joined by Holly Hicks, a third-grade teacher and Unabridged Ambassador who has experience choosing and sharing read-aloud picks with her third-grade students. We also share our own experiences with read-aloud picks both at home and in the classroom.   Bookish Check-in Ashley - Kate Clayborn’s Love Lettering Jen - Marissa Meyer’s Instant Karma (from NetGalley, out 11/3) Sara - Sarah Morgan’s One More for Christmas Holly - Ruth Ware’s The Turn of the Key and Alex North's The Shadows   Our Read-Aloud Recommendations   Picture Books Ashley - Ashley Franklin’s Not Quite Snow White, illustrated by Ebony Glenn Holly - Adam Rubin’s Secret Pizza Party, illustrated by Daniel Salmieri Jen - B.
