Interactive read alouds are a great way to teach important reading skills while having the students stay focused and involved. When teaching with this method, students will be listening, thinking, talking with a partner, writing, sharing and so much more. 

Each week there will be one main standard to be focused on but other standards will also be tied in just as a brief introduction of that skill or a review. These interactive read aloud first grade resources were designed for a 1st grade classroom but could easily be used with kindergarten and 2nd grade as well.
