Picture this - you're walking through Barnes & Noble, dreaming of building your classroom library, when those price tags stop you in your tracks. $18.99, $21.99, $24.99 per book! If you're like me, you quickly realize that creating that dream read aloud collection could empty your bank account. But don't worry - I've got you covered.

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite budget-friendly ways to build an amazing classroom library without breaking the bank. From maximizing your local library's resources and uncovering hidden gems at book sales, to connecting with colleagues and using creative solutions like Scholastic points - I'll walk you through practical strategies that have helped me create a rich collection of read alouds.
After years in the classroom and talking with thousands of teachers, I know the struggle of wanting to share amazing books with our students while staying within our budget. Join me to discover how you can transform your read aloud collection without emptying your wallet.
