La première neige de Petit Hibou (French Repeated Read Aloud Lessons)

Everything you need to practice reading comprehension strategies with your students, using the book La première neige de Petit Hibou by Divya Srinivasan! This set includes one whole week’s worth of literacy activities (30-45 mins/day) to do with your students.

You will read the story each day, and then examine certain aspects of the text more closely (close reading). Your students will practice visualizing, putting the events of the story in order, making connections, imagining “la suite de l’histoire”, and forming an opinion about the story. There are also instructions for an optional owl craft to do at the end of the week.

Lesson plans also include opportunities for shared writing and individual responses, and I have included both interactive notebook and full-page response sheet options for each activity, so you can use what works best for your students. There is also a colour poster that explains each strategy taught throughout the week.

This resource includes:

• 5 different reading comprehension activities
• 1 suggested schedule for the week
• Multiple options for independent student work following each whole-group activity
• 4 posters with definitions for important reading comprehension strategies
• instructions for an optional craft

These lessons are great for both Kindergarten and first grade – in K, my students show their thinking through their pictures in the beginning of the year, and then add text to clarify and explain as the year progresses. To me, what is important during this time of our day are their ideas and their thinking! In first grade, your students who are capable could be expected to begin using writing in their responses right away.

This story is a great one for any teachers required to teach about seasonal changes as part of their curriculum!

*Please note that you will need to own/borrow the book La première neige de Petit Hibou by Divya Srinivasan in order to complete these activities with your class.* I got my copy from Scholastic.
