Ack! I am behind in blog posts! I guess that’s what happens when you’re in the midst of preparing for and starting SUMMER READING!
Last month, I did a couple of Books/Reading/Story Love storytimes. The following is one I did for my ESL family literacy group. The kids range from pre-K to age 8, so that can be challenging to prepare for!
Hope that everyone is having a happy summer so far and is enjoying a good book!
OPENING:
Opening Song: If You Want to Hear a Story
PROGRAM:
Read-aloud #1: Wolf! by Becky Bloom
