Spring is the season of new growth and here is my list of Spring books that you can read in your special education classroom. Get ready to watch your students bloom and flourish during this season of the school year.
(THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS.)
There are books about seasons, new spring growth, and so much more! These books are for kindergarten through 3rd-grade, and I have also included fiction and nonfiction titles for use in your classroom.
Most would make great read-aloud books, but some lend themselves to independent reading or for educational projects. I love reading books with my students that are enjoyable and bring laughter to the classroom.
