We’ve collected a sampling of BookBreak virtual school author talks for elementary schools from the 2023-24 school year for you to enjoy! You will find a wide variety of topics, grade levels, and diversity with the authors in our BookBreak program. Representation is a high priority for us when choosing authors, because it allows us to provide opportunities for all students to interact with, and be inspired by, authors who look like them. Getting students to read more and improve their reading and writing skills is an important part of our virtual author talk program, but first our authors must connect with them. Author diversity allows us to maximize these connections with all students.
Our virtual author talks are a break from the norm, and fun! Students enjoy submitting questions to the author, learn about creating characters, and even get to do draw-alongs with author-illustrators!
Check out some of our author clips below and stay tuned for our Middle School Launch of the BookBreak program in Fall 2024.
