***Need ideas for different ways you can implement these activities?
**
Focus on different reading skills each day for targeted instruction, and have students complete a corresponding printable to check for understanding.
During centers, students can independently read the story again and complete an activity that reviews a previously taught concept.
Work with students on a reading concept they struggle with during guided reading or strategy groups.
Students work with a partner or in literature circles to complete additional reading activities.
This resource is for extension read-aloud activities only. The book is not included.***
