Students will love the engaging and fun activities, and you will appreciate the time saved hunting for high-level resources to teach reading concepts that students frequently struggle with. The activities provided are designed to enable students to apply higher-level thinking skills, encourage them to provide text evidence to support their thinking, and challenge them to express their own thoughts and/or perspectives.

You will get TONS of print-and-go activities for each picture book, saving you valuable time you already don't have to spare.

⭐Need ideas for different ways you can implement these activities?

• Focus on different reading skills each day for targeted instruction, and have students complete a corresponding printable to check for understanding.
• During centers, students can independently read the story again and complete an activity that reviews a previously taught concept.
• Work with students on a reading concept they struggle with during guided reading or strategy groups.
• Students work with a partner or in literature circles to complete additional reading activities.

This resource is for extension read-aloud activities only. The book is not included.
