Nurture a Love for Reading and Build Language and Literacy Skills
Children develop a love for reading and build their literacy and language skills when they experience books both in the classroom and at home with their families. Teaching Strategies is committed to nurturing a love for reading and building language and literacy skills in rich early childhood education programs. To support this commitment, we are excited to introduce the Digital Children’s Library!
A digital library designed or early learners, teachers, and families
Available to teachers within The Creative Curriculum Cloud and to families through the Teaching Strategies Family Mobile App, The Digital Children’s Library gives teachers and families a broad collection of engaging children’s books designed to support joyful reading and meaningful learning. This built-in feature makes it easier to bring books into everyday routines, whether teachers are enriching instruction in the classroom or families are sharing stories at home
Supporting literacy in the classroom
Children benefit when reading is part of both their school day and their home life. The Digital Children’s Library helps The Creative Curriculum extend that connection by giving teachers and families a shared way to support literacy development. Teachers can use digital books to complement instruction, spark discussion, and strengthen learning experiences in the classroom.
Families can simply update their Family Mobile App for access*. If they need to install it for the first time, they can download it on the App Store or get it on Google Play.
Supporting literacy at home
It is said that a love for reading begins on the loops of children’s families. With direct access to all of the digital books in the Teaching Strategies family mobile app, families can continue those moments at home, helping children build confidence, familiarity, and excitement around books and reading – all without the worry of returning a physical book or accidental damage-they are available right at their fingertips!

Designed to support joyful, meaningful reading experiences
Reading should feel inviting, engaging, and connected to children’s everyday learning. The Digital Children’s Library helps programs create more opportunities for those moments by making books easier to access and easier to share.
As part of The Creative Curriculum Cloud, it supports a richer literacy experience for children while helping teachers and families work together to nurture curiosity, language development, and a love of reading.
An equitable approach
The titles within the Digital Children’s Library include the key tenants of a high-quality literature program-they are equitable and expose children to a wide range of genres. The books, available in English and Spanish, explore life in other cultures, celebrate diversity, spark curiosity, and inspire children’s imaginations.
