Virtual Author Talks for High Poverty Schools
Supporting Reading and Literacy for All Communities
What is the Buy One Give One Program?
BookBreak’s Buy One Give One Program allows us to give a high-poverty school free access to our virtual author talk program. We bring monthly bestselling virtual author talks to our network of schools each month via live stream, including Q&A from students. The events are geared toward specific grade cohorts from K-12, and are accompanied by lesson plans and activities that integrate into the curriculum. Each grade level has the opportunity to hear from an age-appropriate author at least once per month. Recordings of the talks are also available for future use.
Our vision is to make hearing from inspiring authors a regular part of the student experience and dramatically expand access to these programs. BookBreak is committed to supporting reading and literacy for all students K-12.
