FENNVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — Fennville Elementary is turning to YouTube to encourage summer reading.
The school’s new program, Summer Storytime Series, can be accessed on YouTube.
Fennville Elementary School teacher Terri DeRoo came up with the idea right before the end of the 2018-2019 school year.
“My own children spend time online and they are big into watching YouTubers and different things like that,” said DeRoo, who teaches fourth grade. “I thought, all kids have access to YouTube, and that would be an easy way to reach every family.”
A new story is added to the YouTube series every morning around 8 a.m. All of the videos are available for students to watch anytime.
A variety of people connected toFennville Public Schoolsnarrate the stories, from teachers and bus drivers to a superintendent. The type of stories also vary, from fiction to non-fiction and classic favorites.
