“Thanks for your patience in my response. REGARDING MY BOOKS, until July 1, 2020, you have my permission to stream privately to your students, or record on a private site for your students, Read-Alouds of ANY of my books. My publishers say public sharing or photo-copying of any of the books is not allowed, but as we come up with new solutions and innovative ideas, I will share with you for sure. In the meantime, in between time, I’ll post some fun and functional learning resources from me, Randy, my friends, and the Versify authors, on a site I created with my partners, Teacher Created Materials. We all want to help support the amazing work you are doing during these unprecedented times.”
