The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins is a cool RF read that will keep you guessing as to who will show up at the door next. It also contains a good message about sharing. I would use this book as a RA. I would use ESOL strategy 15 by reinforcing the key ideas. I would use UDL 2.5 and illustrate through multiple media.

The Crossover by Kwame Alexander is a RF story, and John Newberry Medal winner about twin brothers that want to play basketball. The unique way of writing could be a good way to incorporate it into a poetry lesson. This would also be a great LC book for the students to discuss; many would probably be able to relate to the story. I would use ESOL strategy 2 and promote cooperation in small groups.

Allies, by Alan Gratz is a HF story about where different people were during D-Day. It is a good book for older students to read that can tie in with a history lesson. I would use this book as a LC for the
students to get together and discuss.

Me…Jane, by Patrick McDonnell is a wonderful B read. This book is a winner of a Caldecott Honor award. The pictures in this book are simple and sweet.

Hare and Tortoise by Alison Murray is a great TL story that would be a nice lesson for the classroom. Of course, it tells how slow and steady can still win the race and you don‘t have to be the fastest. I would use the strategy of RA, so the students can all listen and discuss when the story is done.

Peppe The Lamplighter by Elisa Bartone is a great HF story. This won the Caldecott honor award. This book is about a boy who takes over someone‘s job for a little while as a lamplighter in Italy. I would use this as IR to let the students examine the pictures up close, which are so nice. I would use ESOL strategy 6 and continually monitor the student‘s comprehension as they read this story. I would use UDL 2.1 to help them clarify the vocabulary.

Henry‘s Freedom Box is a wonderful book by Ellen Levine. It won the Caldecott honor award. This B story is about a man who is a slave and eventually mails himself to freedom. This book would be best as a RA. I would use the website of the author reading her story aloud. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/videos/teaching-content/henrys-freedom-box-r....

I would present this book as a PR, and two people can take turns reading as the brothers. This website is a teacher‘s guide to reading this book in class, which would be very useful. http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/thepolarexpress/tg/zathura.shtml

My Teacher Is a Monster! (No, I Am Not.), by Peter Brown, is a wonderful MF story for the classroom. It is about how a student sees their teacher as a monster, but slowly starts to see them differently when he runs into her outside of school. This video would be a nice contribution for the story to be RA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m74FqMU7qBs

use.

Mr. Tiger Goes Wild, by Peter Brown, is such a beautiful MF book. The pictures were amazing and it won the Golden Kite Award.

This book would be fun as a DR, allowing the students to act it out and enjoy themselves.

Boats Float! by George Ella Lyon is a quick NF read about boats. It talks about all the different kinds of boats that exist. This book would be best RA so the students can see all the pictures. This website can be used for students to try their hand at making their own boats that float. file:///C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads/K-Float%20the%20Boat(6).pdf

At The Crossroads, by Rachel Isadora, is a sweet RF story to be read in class. It is about a South African village waiting for their fathers to come home from the mines. There is a part where the children are making music, so I would use ESOL strategy 17, using audio and body language for support, and let the students also make music. I would use this website that shows us how to make instruments
in the classroom.

The story You Will Be My Friend! By Peter Brown was a cute one. It‘s a MF book about a bear named Lucy who decides she is going to go out and make a new friend. It depicts her hunt for her new friend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzMZMYdfrFQ is a cute video that can be played in the classroom. I would use ESOL strategy 20, and list some important words on the board for the students.

https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/popcorn-shop-d...
