Description

These book companion lessons for When Spring Comes read aloud are perfect as spring read aloud activities including reading and writing activities and a spring craft. You can do fun and engaging activities with your Kindergarten and first grade students while covering reading comprehension standards at the same time.

We pride ourselves on creating lessons that cover reading standards and help your students dive deeply into the text while falling in love with the story and characters. We spent years researching and refining our read aloud lesson plan for young learners.

How do our read aloud lessons work?

Each week's lessons focus on one book and will guide you through 3-5 days of reading lessons. Our detailed lesson plans include answer keys and samples. They are so easy to follow, you could even leave them for a substitute.

Each day, students will have a different purpose for revisiting and talking about the text. Speaking and listening are at the heart of interactive reading, therefore, they are incorporated throughout the lesson as students talk about the text and answer comprehension questions in a whole group or with partners. After reading, revisiting, and discussing the text each day, students complete a response to text activity. At the end of the week, students work on a writing prompt and craft.

This book companion lesson plan includes: 

  • Detailed lesson plans with samples
  • Comprehension questions with answer keys 
  • Response to text activities or graphic organizers (differentiated)
  • Writing Prompt
  • Craft 
  • Bulletin Board Titles
  • Graphic organizers pre-loaded to Google Slides and Seesaw

*The digital graphic organizers are similar to the printable options.

*Seesaw has many interactive tools to choose from. Text boxes are not pre-loaded on the graphic organizers because students may want to type or draw, which they can easily do with the provided tools in the program.

To teach these lessons you will need the book:

When Spring Comes by Kevin Henkes
