K-2 Elementary Behavior Expectations Read-aloud Activities & Lesson

Teaching and reviewing library behavior expectations is an important part of your back-to-school library curriculum.

These editable read-aloud activities make it easy for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade classes to learn appropriate library behavior.

The teacher-librarian reads aloud one of the picture book recommendations, and after listening to the story, students complete one of the activities during the rest of library class.
