Here are field tested books that I recommend for any classroom K-8! Each book is accompanied with corresponding vocabulary words and a link to listen to the book read aloud on YouTube.
Note: A lot of time was spent evaluating each read aloud video and providing you with the one that is most engaging and visually appealing for students.
