Teach primary elementary students ​about traditional nursery rhymes, songs, and rhythm with the graphic novel anthology “Nursery Rhyme Comics” in this editable, DIGITAL lesson for 1st or 2nd grade classes.

By reading a graphic novel (or comic) aloud to students, you can demonstrate how to read across and down the comic panels and in what order to read the speech bubbles.  The “Nursery Rhyme Comics” and related “Fairy Tale Comics” and “Fable Comics” anthologies are also great for introducing different genres of traditional literature in a fresh, new way.

This lesson is designed for flexible instruction days, (or FID days), online teaching, or blended / hybrid instruction (part online, part face-to-face). 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 read-aloud contains 20 slides + 9 pages, and includes:

  • Digital Read-aloud Lesson in Google Slides for “Nursery Rhyme Comics” edited by Chris Duffy to share with students
    • Includes placeholders for adding video directions and/or read-aloud videos (See important note below for why the actual read-aloud is not included.)
    • Video cover thumbnails for read-aloud videos in .jpg and .png file formats

Mrs. J in the Library

Hi there! I'm Collette Jakubowicz, the owner and founder of Mrs. J in the Library.
I'm a certified teacher-librarian with over 15 years of teaching experience in elementary school libraries. I believe school libraries staffed by professional teacher-librarians should inspire and empower students to create, as well as read, research, and think critically.

I can help you enhance your instruction with library centers (including online and blended learning), or upgrade your library space with my best-selling Dewey Nonfiction Signs.
