On today’s webcast Leslie Bermel and I talked about 20 of the JLG selections that are we just love. These were books we haven’t talked about in past webcasts, with many of the titles shipping out this summer. From a YA author-turned picture book author to what some are calling his best book yet, your readers will love these hot-off-the-press titles!
Remember that in addition to providing you with great selections, we are building resources to help you use these titles. Check out the NEW JLG Spring 2016 Booktalks to Go LiveBinder for resources for these and other great JLG titles. JLG BTG titles are added to our Pinterest board and tweeted out by following Deborah B. Ford. Look for book trailers and archived webcasts on our JLG YouTube Playlist. This webcast will be archived and posted on the JLG website at a later date. Your certificate of attendance can be reprinted by watching the archived video for at least ten minutes.
Join us next time on at 3:00PM EDT July 15 when my co-host will be Roger Sutton, Editor in Chief, The Horn Book. We’ll be talking about the newly-announced Boston Globe Horn Book Award winners and the Symposium at Simmons College in September. Don’t miss it!
Here are the titles from today’s webcast.
