Read Alouds

One of my favorite read alouds is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson.  It’s a short chapter book, but be prepared to omit a handful of words.

As we all know, some books have movies too!  To justify watching the movie after reading a book, I have my students compare and contrast the book with the movie.  These are the graphic organizers that we use.  You can grab them here, in the free resource library.
