Trop de lapins! (French Repeated Read Aloud Lessons)

Everything you need to practice reading comprehension strategies with your students, using the book Trop de lapins! by Trace Moroney! 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, making connections, identifying which events did/did not occur in the story, inferring the meanings of tricky vocabulary words, and identifying the problem and the solution in the story. Lesson plans also include opportunities for shared writing and individual responses.

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. There are black and white options as well for the whole group sorts (*the posters are only available in colour).

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
• 5 posters with definitions for important reading comprehension strategies

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 book is perfect to read in the Spring, around Easter time, because of the baby bunnies. However, it is great at any time of year because the theme is about becoming a big brother or sister!

*Please note that you will need to own/borrow the book Trop de lapins! by Trace Moroney in order to complete these activities with your class.*I ordered my book from the Scholastic flyer in March 2018.
