What better way to pull a young child into the thrills of reading than a great picture book? I have put together a list of our favorite new and classic picture books for kindergartners. Believe me, it was difficult to limit the list to 50! Here are 50 Must-Have Books for the Kindergarten Classroom

What are your students' favorite books? What book is constantly being poured over by a little one falling in love with reading? Make sure to comment at the bottom of the post with your must-have picture books for kindergartners.

The picture books featured in the "New" list have been published in the last 3 years. Many of the books were published in 2017 and 9 of the books made the latest New York Times Best Seller List.

The "Tried and True" picture books for kindergartners feature timeless classics that the littlest readers have enjoyed year after year. This list was difficult to narrow down.

I thought I would share these 4 free keyboarding sites for kindergarten that we are using to help with our typing and keyboarding skills!

Students type the letters that are shown on the balloons.

Also from Fun to Type.
