****************************************************************************
Please also note that the original bundle was supposed to have sixty book activities. Jen decided to make the difficult decision to “retire from TPT” to spend more time with her family and so there will only be thirty book activities in this bundle. However, I am sure that you will find that the thirty book activities in “Read Aloud Favorites – Activities & Writing Prompts for the Year – All Access Pass” are well worth your hard-earned money. The 30th book, Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch, does not follow the same format as the other books, but is a great addition to this amazing set of lessons created by Jen.

My students and I loved reading the different books and completing different activities. I used this in person and online with my students. The digital activities were great! I usually shared all the activities with my students and let the, pick 2 or 3 to complete. Then I didn’t have to choose and students got more choice in the activities! Thank you for all your hard work and time in creating this!
