“Bunny’s Book Club” Digital Read-aloud Orientation Lesson

Review how the library works with this editable, DIGITAL library orientation lesson for 2nd grade classes.

This lesson is designed for flexible instruction days, (or FID days), online teaching, or blended / hybrid instruction.  The teacher-librarian creates a read-aloud video to embed in the slides or provides an ebook with audio read-aloud features.  After listening to the book or watching the book video, students complete the response activity on the next slide.

This lesson has 26 slides / pages, and includes:

• Digital Read-aloud Lesson in Google Slides for “Bunny’s Book Club” by Annie Silvestro to share with students
  • Placeholders for adding video directions and/or read-aloud videos (See important note below for why the actual read-aloud is not included.)

IMPORTANT! Due to copyright law, a read-aloud video of “Bunny’s Book Club” is NOT included. You will have to record yourself reading the book, or do a live stream of the read-aloud for students to access the book. If your library owns the interactive ebook that has audio read-aloud, you could also share how to read or access it through your online catalog or ebook management platform.
