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.

I use these activities with a grade 2 French Immersion class, who have a small amount of English instruction in their day. This is a great resource to have – quick and easy activities that can be done independently or as a whole class! I found some of the books hard to find as a hard copy, but are usually available on youtube as a read aloud.
Jaime C. –
I love these! Thank you!

This resource has been beneficial during distance learning. I enjoy having all of the activities to go with the read aloud!
Donna D. –
I use these 4 days a week for SEL lessons. The slides are visually appealing for the students. The activities are brief on each slide – just enough for students to discuss and write about in 30 minutes or less. The books are great choices – most I did not have in my library. Many of the books are brand new. It’s nice to have books the kids don’t know yet.
Upper Elementary Glow Up –
