he American Association of School Librarians (AASL)  has announced their top choices for “electronic resources that provide enhanced learning and curriculum development for school librarians and their educator collaborators.” These resources were formerly separated into the Best Apps and Best Websites for Teaching and Learning and are now combined into the Best Digital Tools for Teaching & Learning.

“KidLitTV offers in depth interviews with authors and illustrators.  On this website you will find book trailers, how to draw videos and other literacy related activities.  This website offers curated resources for books geared toward PK-3rd grade.”

Shared foundations-: Curate, Explore, Engage, Include

The KidLitTV site is full of fantastic resources like this compiled list of the best kidlit videos from 2019! This article from Publisher’s Weekly describes the new initiative KidLit TV At Home, a free resource created specifically for this time of increased virtual learning. Read Across America has this great page with several videos from the program ready to watch! Finally, this page from the Children’s Book Council links to many other activities available from KidLit TV, like recipes, songs, and drawing instructions!

KitLit TV has an incredible YouTube page. Even grownups will find things to enjoy! Tutorials, interviews, music, and of course books being read aloud!
