Teaching with Picture Books

I found a wonderful website for K-2 teachers and parents. We know that reading aloud to a child is so important, but we don't have the time to do it as much as we want. Lookybook has numerous picture books to read for free. You can read a book aloud in class from Lookybook while you project it on a screen. If you save it to your bookshelf, your students can read it themselves during centers. They even get to turn the pages. You also have access to other Lookybookers favorite picture books. Books can be found by searching by keyword, author, illustrator, subject, or genre. Thousands of books are available. Now you can test out a book in class before you buy it. After reading a book, you can add it to your bookshelf, e-mail it, embed it, review it, and buy it. If you are like me, you have spent hundreds of dollars buying books for your class. Now you can save some money by using Lookybook. This won't replace real books, but it will be a great addition to your classroom.
