Brooklyn-Nine-Nine SAG Award-nominee, actor, author, voiceover artist, and television presenter Terry Crews offers pre-K kids solid tips on the first day of school with The King of Kindergarten read-aloud for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Storyline Online.
Written by Newbery Honor-winning author Derrick Barnes and illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, The King of Kindergarten offers our youngest story lovers—ages 3-6—a fun and fantastical way of dealing with those new school nerves. Making almost a fairytale game of it all, from waking up in the morning and brushing your teeth with courage and vigor to cheerfully meeting your new teacher and classmates, this spirited and reassuring story is tailormade for tiny tots on the verge of milestones. SAG-AFTRA Foundation President Courtney B. Vance knows how important this educational rite of passage is and was thrilled to add such an important story read by an inspirational actor to the Storyline Online bookverse.
An educational brand since 2001, Storyline Online has seen significant growth during the pandemic when remote learning has become more common within households. Boasting over 200 million views since March 2020, Storyline Online has seen a sharp spike in interaction, shares, and likes, proving to be an essential online resource for families learning at home. While most schools have reopened, Storyline Online remains committed to providing extra help to teachers in classrooms, as well as parents with school-age children at home.
