    *FREEBIE* Are you working on character traits no *FREEBIE* 

Are you working on character traits now or soon?

This freebie connects the skill to Valentine’s Day AND brings the skill to life with a concrete connection. 

Students can easily tell you how much they love their big brother or aunt but can they tell you WHY?! What TRAITS make them great and special?

As a mom I’d love my kids to bring this home for me! Kinda nervous/ curious what they’d say though 

Comment below or message me for the link to the freebie!

Connections are one of the most basic and meaningful aspects of reading! 

🙋🏻‍♀️ Ever start reading (or talking) and your students hands shoot up because something you said reminds them of their cousins birthday party or what their neighbor ate for a snack last week? 

Kids brains are constantly seeking connections to help them build understanding of the world around them. You can focus their connections for specific purposes. 

Connor from my Comprehension Crew pack specializes in helping kids do that! You can try his lessons for FREE! Comment and I’ll send you the link. 

One way to use connections is to share a little about yourself like I did in this video! So throughout the read aloud I can mention how things relate to me or how they make me feel.

This is a text to SELF connection. 
I’ll chat about the other two types soon so make sure you’re following @lessonsbythelake 

Feel like you don’t have any books about yourself? Type in ____ (your favorite food) picture book in a search engine- start exploring you’ll LOVE what you find!
