Kindergarten Reading Lesson (by date, oldest first)

After reading orwatching Enemy Pie, students will create their own FRIENDSHIP pie by listing the "ingredients" that make a good friend.

The story, When Spring Comes by Kevin Hikes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek, is my daughter’s favorite book year round. It's the perfect story to explore the transition from Winter to Spring. When reading this story to children, they become overjoyed to see the nature and animals related to the springtime. They love to pretend and act out the meaning of the story.

Use this lesson plan while reading When Spring Comes. This is the perfect way to integrate physical activity and mindfulness into storytime. Each page can be brought to life with our yoga sequence and our beautifully-illustrated yoga cards teach children how to do each yoga pose.

When Spring Comes is filled with imagery, alliteration, and repetition. Through this book, we can teach children these valuable literary devices through facilitated discussions, group activities and extension exercises included in this lesson plan. Also included are coloring pages, crafts, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities and more!

When Spring Comes  Literacy Integration is a 24-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.

When Spring Comes Lesson Plan is designed for kids ages 4-10 and includes:

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story
• Yoga script to use along with When Spring Comes
• Breathing exercises, mindfulness activities and creative crafts for kids
• Yoga cards and list of yoga games to play
• Worksheets and coloring pages that relate to When Spring Comes

This bookmark resource provides you with 5 quick tasks to practice. It includes isolating beginning, middle, and ending sounds and blending and segmenting sounds. There is a small list of words provided so that you don't have to think them up. Keep this small bookmark in your purse, on a clipboard, on your lanyard, or anywhere that you can quickly grab and go!

This isn't an ordinary CVC word list. This list organizes these CVC words into two groups. Words that begin with continuous sounds and words that begin with stop sounds.

You will want to use words with continuous sounds to support beginning and struggling readers.

This is a great resource to use when planning your instruction! Happy Planning! :)
