Materials for BookSpring Partners

Literacy kits, materials, and activities are what build a culture of literacy. All of our partner resources from kits to volunteers are designed to build engagement and interaction around reading.  All programs are resuming and continuing at the current time and kits, costumes, and materials may be checked out on loan from our new location in South Austin.  Please reach out to Alejandro Torres at alejandro.torres@bookspring.org or (512) 472-1791 x 103 for current updates.

Also, if you’re looking for online materials and activities right now to help your children get inspired about reading, please see our digital books and resources online for ages 3-5 and 6-8: at Bibi’s Weekly Themes and our growing resource of online Read Alouds and Book Reviews on BookSpring’s YouTube Channel. As Open Educational Resources, you may use, link, download, and share freely with your classes, children, and families. We also recommend these sources for digital books: Storyweaver, Unite for Literacy, and The Fable Cottage.
