Black Hills Reads Resources
Book Stop Activity Guides
Black Hills Reads works with CAT Scratch Studios to create Book Stop Activity Guides that accompany Imagination Library and other popular children’s books each year. These Book Stops include activity ideas based on the SD Early Learning Guidelines and are free resources for parents to use with their children while reading a book. So far, we have developed Book Stop Resource Guides for 22 different books! Each Book Stop features information about the book, discussion ideas, and activities.
