Read Aloud Plans (Picture Books)

I first used many of these picture book plans with my 2nd grade class.  Starting in January 2013, since my students aren't quite as proficient of readers, I will be using them with my 3rd grade literacy group.  Depending on the purpose and reading level of your students, they could definitely be used with a wide range of rades. 

All of the read-alouds are written the same way to include:
-Main Idea/Lesson of the story in both adult/student friendly language
-Aligned teacher "Think Alouds" and student "Turn and Talks"

Ideally, the entire read aloud would take about 15-20 minutes, with some books being shorter and others longer.  All of the read alouds I post will be utilized for teacher modeling and student try's during Reader's Workshop lessons.  We'll be emphasizing fiction at first, and then jumping to nonfiction.
