End of Year Read Aloud - End of School Activities - Reading Comprehension Bundle

These End of School read aloud activities are perfect for the last month of school. This reading comprehension bundle includes read aloud and writing activities for What Do You Do With an Idea, Last Day Blues, and When It's the Last Day of School.

You can do fun end of school year related activities with your students while covering reading comprehension standards at the same time. The books and accompanying activities are great for building reading comprehension and important skills like sequencing, key ideas and details, inference, writing in response to text, point of view, learning from illustrations, and many more.

We pride ourselves on creating lessons that cover reading standards and help your students dive deeply into the text while falling in love with the story and characters. We spent years researching and refining our read aloud lesson plan for young learners.

How do our read aloud lessons work?

Each week's lessons focus on one book and will guide you through 3-5 days of reading lessons. Our detailed lesson plans include answer keys and samples. They are so easy to follow, you could even leave them for a substitute.

Each day, students will have a different purpose for revisiting and talking about the text. Speaking and listening are at the heart of interactive reading, therefore, they are incorporated throughout the lesson as students talk about the text and answer comprehension questions in a whole group or with partners. After reading, revisiting, and discussing the text each day, students complete a response to text activity. At the end of the week, students work on a writing prompt and craftivity.

Each book’s lesson plan includes: 

• Detailed lesson plans with samples
• Comprehension questions with answer keys 
• Response to text activities or graphic organizers (differentiated)
• Writing Prompt
• Craftivity 
• Bulletin Board Titles
• Graphic organizers pre-loaded to Google Slides and Seesaw

*The digital graphic organizers are similar to the printable options.

*Seesaw has many interactive tools to choose from. Text boxes are not pre-loaded on the graphic organizers because students may want to type or draw, which they can easily do with the provided tools in the program.

Prep is quick and easy.  Gather the books, print the lessons and corresponding activities, and you’re ready to teach engaging read alouds for 3 weeks!
