Women’s History Month activities can be sprinkled throughout the year, but the month of March is officially Women’s History Month. It is essential that we as educators, help teach our students the importance of women in our history. Teaching each of these influential women and their impact on history will make a lasting impression on your students! Women’s History Month activities are one strategy to accomplish students learning.
Today’s blog post is all about reading resources for Women’s History Month!
We’re going to look at fantastic read-alouds or picture books, some more advanced chapter books for higher readers, online materials to learn, and some resources from TPT you can grab!
Read Alouds and Picture Books
These are great books to either read to your class aloud or put into student reading centers to read on their own or with partners. Some are specific to important women in history and areas of study, while others focus on women in history in general. The texts below are linked to affiliate books on Amazon!

Online Videos and Materials
Very similar to my Black History Month blog post from last month, two websites are simply incredible for teaching biographies. These two websites are my go-to sites for science and social studies topics. Have you tried out Pebble Go or Brain Pop Jr.?
There are tons of videos on Brain Pop for Women’s History Month. These videos would be great to show one a day to showcase the many strong women in history. Additionally, you could even set this as the technology assignment for the month and have students explore and learn on their own during technology time.
