Resources for Virtual, Distance, and Home Learning

Lee & Low Books is committed to supporting educators and families in virtual, distance, and/or home learning. Whether you are a teacher, a homeschooling parent, or a librarian, you'll find educator resources on this page to support your work as well as answers to our most commonly asked questions regarding distance learning.

Are you looking to build a diverse home library for your family? Adapted from our incredibly popular Classroom Library Questionnaire, our new Home Library Questionnaire is a helpful guide that encourages parents and caregives to broaden the types of books you read at home and to choose diverse books wisely. Use it, download it, and share it!
