Kindergarten February Read Aloud Lessons | Empowering Little Readers

More about this resource...

Kindergarten teachers, are you looking for something to make planning for your literacy block or Reader’s Workshop time easy and fun? This Empowering Little Readers February reading unit contains everything you need to teach phonemic awareness, comprehension, story elements, shared reading, and vocabulary. This unit is based on the close read model – each week you will focus on one book and going deeper within that text.

Digital Options for Distance Learning: I have added in options for some of the recording sheets to be used in Google Slides™ and Seesaw™. I was not able to make all activities digital, but many.

*This is available in a yearlong bundle here: Little Readers Kindergarten Curriculum

Each week contains 5 days worth of lesson plans for you with foundational or phonemic awareness activities, shared reading (poetry), a whole group reading lesson, independent work, vocabulary, crafts, and directed drawings. This curriculum is designed to meet all Common Core State Standards.
