Dive into an amazing read aloud full of short chapters, distinctive characters, and fun visualizations! James and the Giant Peach is a favorite amongst my first graders. This 30-page packet contains informative reading passages for each of the bugs with "right there" comprehension questions, visualization activities, creative writing, problem solving, and a compare and contrast paper if you chose to watch the movie as well.
If your students are anything like mine, they LOVE Reader's Theaters. I can't help but agree seeing as they increase all aspects of fluency: speed, phrasing, and expression. Have fun while practicing your reading! These THREE short scripts are adapted from Cynthia Rylant's "Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night."

This is a great beginning resource to send to parents before Distance Learning begins! These Google Slides are meant to be short and sweet to highlight the important set-up parents will need to have a successful start to the year. All of the slides are customizable. I would suggest creating a Screencastify or Loom video so you can elaborate on each slide and give some specific details for your district or classroom.
