Books First bags are available in a variety of interests to aid in children's literacy development.  For example, Cinderella Around the World is designed to gain literary knowledge of a very familiar story, through a more informed perspective of cultures around the globe. Another Books First bag, Two Voices, is a collection of stories with two main characters whose dialogue carries the majority of the story. Stories with two voices may aid readers in their fluency (prosody) when paired with another reader.

Each Books First bag contains five titles revolving around a specific subject or theme.  The bag also contains a resource sheet with more titles to check out as well as an activity, song, poem, etc.  

The current themes/subjects are:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social Emotional Learning
• Cinderella Around the World
• Circular
• Community
• Cumulative

You may find the entire Books First collection listed in our catalog, where you may also place them on hold.
