Read Aloud Activities

I cannot believe February is already here!!  Seems like the longer I teach, the faster the years go.  February is a great month to celebrate Groundhog Day, Dental Health, Valentine's Day and President's Day.  In my read aloud lesson plans for February I use fun, interactive activities for the students to polish their literacy skills.  The book we are using this week for Groundhog Day is called, Go To Sleep, Groundhog! by Judy Cox.  This is a student favorite each year.  I use anchor charts to help reinforce concepts we are learning. 



These are the anchor charts I choose from:


On Monday before reading, we look at the cover of the book and chart predictions of what we think the story will be about.  After reading the story, we look at our chart to see if any of the predictions were correct.  As we re-read them we circle the ones that were correct.

On Tuesday, we use the anchor charts to review what an author and illustrator do.  We then read the story again.  Afterwards we practice rhyming words.

Prior to reading on Wednesday, we review the parts of a book and then sequence the story.  Once we finish reading the book we decide if we forgot anything when sequencing.  To assist the visual learners, we use the following pictures to help sequence the story.

By Thursday, depending on the students, I may choose to read the story or  just review the story.  We then sort words that begin with the letter Gg.

Each Friday, the students get to voice their opinion of the book.  They can choose to write a journal entry that they liked the book or they did not.  They must always add why they feel that way!

Whew!  That is a lot of literacy skills practiced with one book.  Of course, I do read aloud other books through out the day, but I make sure I have one anchor book per week.

In my February Read Aloud Lessons, you will find great activities for the following books:
Go To Sleep, Groundhog! by Judy Cox
Love, Splat! by Rob Scotton

There Was An Old Lady That Swallowed A Rose! by Lucille Colandro
