👩🏻‍🍳Character Trait TREAT!!

Use this yummy snack idea to go along with your next read aloud and character trait lesson!

*FREEBIE* Are you working on character traits no

*FREEBIE*

Are you working on character traits now or soon?

This freebie connects the skill to Valentine’s Day AND brings the skill to life with a concrete connection.

Students can easily tell you how much they love their big brother or aunt but can they tell you WHY?! What TRAITS make them great and special?

As a mom I’d love my kids to bring this home for me! Kinda nervous/ curious what they’d say though

Comment below or message me for the link to the freebie!

Any other Nittany lions or pickle heads out there??

Connections are one of the most basic and meaningful aspects of reading!

🙋🏻‍♀️ Ever start reading (or talking) and your students hands shoot up because something you said reminds them of their cousins birthday party or what their neighbor ate for a snack last week?

Kids brains are constantly seeking connections to help them build understanding of the world around them. You can focus their connections for specific purposes.

Connor from my Comprehension Crew pack specializes in helping kids do that! You can try his lessons for FREE! Comment and I’ll send you the link.

One way to use connections is to share a little about yourself like I did in this video! So throughout the read aloud I can mention how things relate to me or how they make me feel.

This is a text to SELF connection.
I’ll chat about the other two types soon so make sure you’re following @lessonsbythelake

Feel like you don’t have any books about yourself? Type in ____ (your favorite food) picture book in a search engine- start exploring you’ll LOVE what you find!

B is for BALANCE! ⚖️ Just like we strive for

B is for BALANCE! ⚖️

Just like we strive for balance in all areas of our lives, your read alouds should be balanced. Genres, character type, theme, setting, etc. change it up! Make every reading experience a new adventure.

There should be books that have
🧠 high level vocabulary
🧠 layers of story lines
🧠 character arcs and development
🧠 complex themes

AND books that have

⭐️ silly rhymes
⭐️ easy to understand messages
⭐️ fun characters
⭐️ simple events

We want our read aloud to be thought provoking, and ENJOYABLE. Every time you open a book you are influencing your students’ relationship/ opinion of reading.

The “simpler” books might be just what your students need to practice implementing those reading strategies you’ve been teaching!

My #comprehensioncrew actually encourages this!!

⬇️ Do you favor one type of book more than the other? Tell me below!

The books included in this reel are
🛠️ Rosie Revere Engineer- this exciting tale of imagination and perseverance follows Rosie as she learns that her inventions failing is just part of the wonder of creating!
🦖 Tiny T-Rex and the Impossible Hug- follows the story of Tiny and how he overcomes his short arms to be able to hug and comfort his friend in need.

Join me as we explore the ABCs of read alouds! I’ll be sharing tips, tricks, and ideas as well as a ton of picture book ideas along the way.

First up- A is for AUTHOR ✏️

💭Do you read the author’s name when you read the title? Do you think it should be read aloud? Why? Tell me below!

📚Let’s talk about authors- do you ever love how a book is written and the experience you have reading it? Look into the author! They might have a TON more books (that could not show up on your regularly checked lists) that could be a perfect fit for your classroom and lesson.

📚A favorite of mine (and my kids) is Julia Donaldson. She has tons of books of varying topics and themes! I’ll discuss these below ⬇️

📚Doing an author study can lead to students comparing and contrasting and finding connections between the stories and writing style.

📖Another reason to talk about the author is to explore the art of writing!

📖 There are so many opportunities to point it what you’re teaching in WRITING while reading to your students!

📖 You could inspire future authors by showcasing what it means to be an author each time you enjoy a book!

THE BOOKS IN THIS VIDEO- comment “book links” if you want me to send you the links.
⭐️The Gruffalo and The Gruffaloa Child- pure rhyming and story telling gold! Follow the little brown mouse through the forest as he tells the tale of this terrible creature, the gruffalo, and tricks all the animals.
⭐️ A Gold Star for Zog- follow the training of Zog as he takes dragon lessons and finds his true purpose in helping others!
⭐️ A Snail and A The Whale- watch how the tiny snail’s size doesn’t stop him from being a BIG help to the whale! A cute story of friendship!

Don’t forget to tell me below- do you read the author’s name aloud with the title??
