Since Halloween is my favorite time of year why not another creepy book! This F book is really great for K-2 and kids will especially enjoy having a RA around Halloween! https://youtu.be/XKXwLpWOmrI is a great video of a read aloud of the book. I love videos of read aloud because the use of technology tends to engage the students. A great ESOL Strategy to use with this book is 29 Offer a variety of reference materials at the students‘

This RF book is an addition to the on going series “No, David” and it is one of many books students can use for an AS. David Shannon is a very interesting man and I‘m sure students would love to find out where David came from! Thankfully, David Shannon has his own website where they provide his biography http://nodavidshannon.com/davids-bio/ which is a great resource for students who are completing the author study. This resource accommodates to

This New York Times Bestseller is filled with an abundance of P and is a great book for a RA. This is the book one of my high school teachers read to my class senior year right before we went to graduation and there wasn‘t a dry eye in the room which shows you how impactful words can be and also how appropriate this book can be at any grade level. To assist you in your RA you can use https://youtu.be/PLH-CgYQG9g to read to the students. This

ATejada Accommodates to UDL Principle 9.1 Promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation as well as ESOL Strategy 3 Encourage self-talk (positive thinking). #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y
DrSpalding This is such a wonderful read aloud at the end of any school year. 9.1 and three work beautifully with the content of this book. 6y

Creepy Pair of Underwear! | Aaron Reynolds

Pickpick

Of course we‘ve all heard of Creepy Carrots but are you ready for Creepy UNDERWEAR?! This F book would make the perfect read aloud, especially around Halloween! I enjoy these particular Aaron Reynolds books because you can still read them around Halloween without offending any of your students who do not celebrate! https://deannajump.com/creepy-underwear-lesson-plans/ is a great resource to use as it includes an anchor chart where the students

ATejada identify the beginning, middle, and end of the story. This goes along with ESOL Strategy 6 Continually monitor students‘ comprehension as well as UDL Principle 4.1 Vary the methods for response and navigation. I chose this UDL Principle because if your student is physically impaired, it is easy for the teacher to write his thought on a sticky note for him and add him to the anchor chart. #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y
