What's
BaAM?!?
BaAM?!?
What's BaAM?!?
An entire month dedicated to inspiring every student to embrace their creativity, articulate their thoughts, and harness the strength of their voice.
Since 2022, it's a month filled with motivating and educational activities to focus on writing across the curriculum.
Turn students into authors and see how by creating and sharing digital books, magic can happen!
There are many research-based benefits of students reading, writing, or telling their stories in educational and cognitive development.
BaAM Theme 2024
This year, Be An Author Month is about Finding, Refining, and Recording your VOICE to share your amazing stories!
“Voice” Doesn’t Mean Your Actual Speaking Voice
At Book Creator, we embrace diverse modes of communication, and are passionate about ensuring an inclusive learning environment for all, which is why leveraging technology, such as our platform, ensures students who are unable to use their physical voice, still have a voice in their writing, reading, and storytelling experiences.
