Character Education Read Aloud Units Lesson Plans and Activities BUNDLE

Get the Most Out of Your Read Aloud

These products are the solution for any teacher who is looking to turn Character Education into an opportunity for explicit instruction in reading, writing, enrichment, and more.

As a teacher, one of my favorite things to do is read quality picture books to my students. Yet, most weeks I ran out of time after teaching the required curriculum. This began my search to replace curriculum components with activities that tie to a read aloud I choose. I needed something simple, adaptable, and ready to go to fully round out the read aloud experience for my students—thus Rounding Out the Read Aloud was born.

Each unit has differentiated discussion prompts and activities for K-5 students of all levels. Additionally, material for multiple reading comprehension skills and strategies, the seven traits of writing, and engaging, cross-curricular extension activities are included in every unit.

Save Time with Minimal Prep

Teachers who understand the importance of precious plan time and the need for easy implementation created this unit. Therefore, all activities are minimal prep … just print and go! Customizable lesson plans with detailed instructions are written for you. First, grab your copy of the book. Then, select the activities for your students. Finally, just print, and go! If you are a teacher who treasures read aloud time and are looking to round out the experience to support your curriculum, this product will be a game-changer for you.
