  • These book lessons are so easy to use.  Our scripted lessons take the guesswork out of your interactive read alouds planning!

HOW DO THE ENGAGING READERS READ ALOUD LESSONS WORK?

The teacher does the reading work while the students do the thinking work. These lessons are grounded in research. It is said that the person doing the most talking is the person who is doing the most learning. SO these lessons scaffold instruction to get students talking. Side-by-side, students learn comprehension strategies such as Predicting, Visualizing, Retelling, Text Details, Connecting, Inferring, Character Analysis, Opinion Writing and so much more. You won’t believe how quickly students fall in love with your read-aloud time. 

Brain research reveals that reading comprehension starts with listening comprehension.  Since kindergarten, first grade students, and second grade students have listening skills that far surpass their ability to decode words, it is imperative that they participate in daily deep conversations surrounding books that allow them to strengthen their thinking! Don’t wait! Start building pathways to deeper thinking today!

These units can be used on their own or as a supplement to your current reading curriculum. They are simply the easiest and most enjoyable way to drive up student engagement. Join the thousands of teachers who have transformed their ELA block.

EACH BOOK INCLUDES DAILY:

  • 5 Day Interactive read aloud discussion lesson plans
  • Reading comprehension strategies to help all students deepen their connections and engagement to books.  A variety of response page options are available so you can select the one that works best for your students.
  • Full color pictorial retelling cards that can be printed or used as a PowerPoint pictorial retelling file for your whiteboard.  This sets students up for success! The pictures support students as they strengthen their oral language.
  • Interactive writing to support your students where they are.
  • Anchor chart ideas for comprehension strategies for each book
  • Sentence study and activities for each day of the week.
  • Grammar study for each day of the week
