Foundational Read Aloud Plan (Pre-K)
More than just storytime, this read aloud plan offers a purposeful approach to building oral language, academic vocabulary, and background knowledge in Spanish through authentic literature. Each read-aloud is thoughtfully selected and paired with thematic units that connect to early learning content areas such as science, social studies, identity, and emotions.
The plan includes 12 theme-aligned sets, each featuring 15 books, a teacher’s guide, and ready-to-use teaching tools.
Authentic Spanish Books: Beautiful, culturally rich stories in Spanish from around the world, reflecting the lived experiences and voices of Spanish-speaking communities.
Aligned with State Standards and Early Learning Curriculum goals: Designed as part of a broader thematic unit –such as School, Weather, Community, Animals– the sets support instructional goals and align with State Standards.
Ready-to-Use Teaching Tools: Teacher-friendly read-aloud guides with before, during, and after reading strategies, teacher’s prompts, differentiated instruction, vocabulary previews, and opportunities for play, inquiry, and discussion.
Early Language and Literacy Development in Spanish: These read-alouds immerse children in the rhythm and richness of Spanish, building oral language and background knowledge—key foundations for bilingual literacy and comprehension.
Celebrating Culture and Identity: Through cultural guides and lesson plans, children explore the stories and traditions of Spanish-speaking communities, deepening their connection to diverse perspectives and their own identity.
