NEW 2025-2026-Book Break!
What is Book Break?
Book Break is a virtual author talk program for K-12 schools that connects students with authors through live and on-demand video events. The program aims to boost literacy by making author interactions accessible to every classroom. It offers live-streamed author events, recordings of past talks, curriculum-aligned resources, and other content to help students engage with reading and writing. Ridgeview purchased a subscription to this.
