February Read Alouds - Valentines Day - Reading Comprehension Bundle K, 1st

These February Read Aloud lessons and activities are perfect for the Valentines day and other monthly themes. This reading comprehension bundle includes read aloud activities for the stories Love Monster, Love is My Favorite Thing, Koala Bears, Groundhog's Runaway Shadow, and You Will Be My Friend.

You can do fun February related activities with your students while covering reading comprehension standards at the same time. The books and accompanying activities are great for building reading comprehension and important skills like sequencing, story elements, character traits, character feelings, cause and effect, main ideas and details, compare and contrast, writing in response to text, inference, and many more.

We pride ourselves on creating lessons that cover reading standards and help your students dive deeply into the text while falling in love with the story and characters. We spent years researching and refining our read aloud lesson plan for young learners.

How do our read aloud lessons work?

Each week's lessons focus on one book and will guide you through 3-5 days of reading lessons. Our detailed lesson plans include answer keys and samples. They are so easy to follow, you could even leave them for a substitute.

Each day, students will have a different purpose for revisiting and talking about the text. Speaking and listening are at the heart of interactive reading, therefore, they are incorporated throughout the lesson as students talk about the text and answer comprehension questions in a whole group or with partners. After reading, revisiting, and discussing the text each day, students complete a response to text activity. At the end of the week, students work on a writing prompt and craftivity.

Each book’s lesson plan includes: 

• Detailed lesson plans with samples
• Comprehension questions with answer keys 
• Response to text activities or graphic organizers (differentiated)
• Writing Prompt
• Craftivity 
• Bulletin Board Titles
• Graphic organizers pre-loaded to Google Slides and Seesaw

*The digital graphic organizers are similar to the printable options.

*Seesaw has many interactive tools to choose from. Text boxes are not pre-loaded on the graphic organizers because students may want to type or draw, which they can easily do with the provided tools in the program.

Prep is quick and easy.  Gather the books, print the lessons and corresponding activities, and you’re ready to teach engaging read alouds for 4-6 weeks!
