The Principal’s Book of the Month Club

Description

The Principal’s Book of the Month Club is a high-impact, low-prep culture-building resource designed for school leaders who want to be visible, intentional, and connected—without adding more to their plate.

Each month, the principal selects one picture book aligned to a key character trait or leadership theme and reads it aloud to students. Following the read-aloud, teachers are provided with simple, meaningful classroom activities that reinforce the message and create shared language across the building.

This resource helps principals:

• Build strong relationships with students and staff

• Promote literacy and a love of reading

• Create a predictable, positive culture routine

• Align character education across classrooms

• Support teachers with ready-to-use activities

Inside, you’ll find:

• A full school-year Book of the Month plan (August–May)

• High-quality, student-loved picture book recommendations

• Developmentally appropriate classroom follow-up activities

• Minimal-prep options for K–5 classrooms

• Flexible activities that work for morning meeting, SEL, or ELA time

Whether you use this as a monthly tradition, a culture reset, or a leadership connection tool, the Principal’s Book of the Month Club will help you lead with purpose, presence, and heart—one book at a time.
