March Read Alouds
I’m getting this book list out just in the nick of time for the start of March! I’ve pulled together a list of daily holidays in March combined with a great read aloud picture book that fits the theme. You don’t have to read these in any specific order if you don’t want to, but they do provide a great way to get more reading into your daily schedule.
I’m not taking all the credit, as the blog Growing Book by Book has a post just like this! I tried hard to either choose different holidays to highlight when I found something that could work or at the very least, provide some additional titles for you instead!
