May 2026 Edition

TeachingBooks has updated both our website and our VPAT to comply with federal web accessibility requirements. While these updates are now required by April 2027 (the government recently extended the deadline by one year), we are happy to report that we're already in compliance... one year early!

You can request our new VPAT here: https://TeachingBooks.net/VPAT

Please let us know if you have any questions. We are proud of this recent work and hope it continues to break down barriers of access to our resources that enhance connections to children's and young adult books.

Whether you're coordinating an inspiring author visit, guiding students or young patrons through a focused author study, or uniting your community around a shared read, elevate your efforts instantly with TeachingBooks' resources. Build enthusiasm for reading and create an unforgettable literary experience, making deeper connections, richer engagement, and lasting impact.

• Enhance Author Visits
  When preparing for an author's visit, spark excitement before the event and extend the learning long after. Listen to the author's name pronunciation to hear the author's voice then create a QR code label of that resource to put into all the author's titles. Introduce students to the author's inspiration, backstories, and creative process in advance of the visit with a Meet-the-Author Recording—helping readers arrive curious, prepared, and ready to engage.
• Deepen Grade-Level Author Studies
  Support educators leading author studies and promote in-house library programs with resources that build interest and strengthen comprehension. Search for a title and then delve into the collection of professionally vetted resources available that enrich the reading experience.
• Unify Your All-Community Read
  A children's or young adult all-community read is a powerful opportunity to bring your community together—and the right support materials can add impact. Use easily shareable TeachingBooks resources to generate conversation, expand understanding, and encourage participation across audiences, from students and educators to families and community members.
