"On our new Story Time With Panorama Education resource library, we have curated a group of stories designed to help educators and parents combine literacy and SEL. (Of course, we also have a few that are simply meant to be read for pleasure and to make us laugh!) In order to support educators and caretakers develop “master readers,” our team wanted to share a few of our favorite children’s books with you and the children you support.
You will notice that the stories we chose will also highlight characters' thoughts, challenges, and emotions. Talking through these with your students or children will help develop those SEL skills. We have also created an accompanying guide outlining best practices in building literacy to support you as you use the videos."
“What you cannot imagine, you cannot do."
Now imagine Astronauts on the Space Station reading stories to and conducting science experiments for the children of Earth as the world rotates below.
Imagine no more…it’s Story Time from Space!
Have stories read to you from people in space! There are also science related videos.
There are great space related titles and others such as Rosie Revere Engineer.
A great way to motivate kids to read.
The stories are read by celebrities.
After you watch the video of the book being read, the parent or teacher can download the teacher guide. It provides questions to ask your little reader, projects to go along with the book and websites to help kids further explore the topic.
