Kindergarten interactive read-aloud is a whole-group instructional context in which you read aloud a selected book to the whole class, occasionally and selectively pausing for conversation. Students think about, talk about, and respond to the text as a whole group or in small groups. This project is requesting the Kindergarten Interactive Read Aloud Book Kit that is part of the Literacy Footprints Curriculum.
This requested project includes 12 carefully curated trade books, partnered with a corresponding lesson directly linked to the comprehension strategies of the Literacy Footprints lessons.
Each book has been selected to reflect engaging illustrations, strong storylines, and a powerful opportunity to teach for deeper meaning. These whole-group lessons provide teachers with the framework to introduce students to the comprehension strategies that will comprise upcoming guided reading lessons.
