Have you ever gotten to the end of a read aloud and realized you completely forgot to teach anything? Or maybe you've found yourself scrambling to come up with questions while trying to hold the book, manage your class, AND remember what you wanted to teach? Trust me, friend - I've been there too! In this first episode of our Interactive Read Aloud series, I'm sharing my simple framework for planning read alouds that actually work (without spending hours of your precious time).
Join me as we dive into exactly how to plan meaningful read alouds that engage your students AND meet your teaching goals. I'll share my favorite time-saving planning trick (hello, sticky notes!), walk you through my step-by-step planning process, and show you exactly how I plan real read alouds for my own classroom. This episode is packed with practical tips you can start using tomorrow, whether you're brand new to interactive read alouds or looking to make your current practice even stronger.
