****************************************************************************
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 absolutely LOVE this resource. The activities to go along with the read alouds are phenomenal. I love doing read alouds in my classroom but often times I am not very good with the follow up activities to help the students make connections. Thank you so much for this! It was worth every penny. This may be the best resource I’ve bought all year!

As a SPED Inclusion teacher this year in first grade I needed both new materials as well as things that would be engaging and appropriate for my special learners. Virtually they need to meet many needs. Thank you for providing a resource that can handle my diverse expectations. Thank you for including this as a bundle for a great saving!
Christina Taylor –
I am currently teaching virtually (for now, waiting on school board decision for rest of school year). I needed to find a way to get the read-aloud to be more engaging and have more purpose. I was also trying to find a way to get my students to write more and to have a purpose to write. This Product comes with a list of books to read, a class poster, journal pages, and a class collaboration product to work on. I have not used all 60 books, but the few that we have read and used are amazing. Thank you so much for creating this product.
