Education Outreach: Early Learners

Early Learners

For our youngest learners in grades K-3, we offer two new resources! Below you'll find lesson plans and recorded story times based on popular children's books.

Lesson Plans

Below you'll find lesson plans that provide activities linking a specific children's book to the primary sources in our collection at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.

Do you have suggestions for books around which we should build a lesson plan? Email the education team's librarian, Janis.Perry@tnsos.gov.
