Summertime
This lesson is one example of how you can implement a read-aloud. Read-aloud activities are a great way to reinforce reading skills at any age. You will engage students in a story, model fluent reading, discuss the themes of the story, and then students will illustrate their ideas in drawings and dioramas.
