Toolkit for Educators

Toolkit

We are excited to share this great resource for Silicon Valley Reads 2021. The toolkit, which can be found at https://bit.ly/SVReads2021, provides ideas and lesson plans for educators to engage in with their students to encourage the love of reading. This year's theme is “Connecting” which is even more crucial now during the pandemic as we value our relationships more than ever before.
