Virtual Guest Reader Program

Welcome to our Virtual Guest Reader Program!

In an effort to keep our Guest Reader Program going during these difficult times, our guest readers came together to help create our Virtual Guest Reader Program! Please click on your child’s grade level below to view virtual guest readings for that age group.

Special thank you to all of our guest readers for taking the time to record their video! We can’t wait to get back into the classrooms but until then please enjoy these free virtual guest readings!
