Spring & Classics Book Companion Bundle

About this resource

40 book companions in one bundle: March to May weeks, fairy tales, and feelings stories, for preschool through 2nd grade special education. Bought one at a time, every one of these 40 units is a separate listing; here they all come together at a deep discount. Every week pairs with one read-aloud and runs the same easy routine: read the book at circle time each day, then pull one simple activity after the read-aloud. Every student page has one short instruction with a picture, so a paraprofessional can run the room from it too.

WHAT IS INCLUDED - 40 book companion PDFs, 2,303 pages in all, print PDFs

Each book companion has the same parts:

• a Start Here week plan, a page naming the read-aloud with an original circle-time chant, and circle-time vocabulary cards to cut out
• smartboard slides for whole-group circle time on a projector or interactive board
• a Day 1 sort, Day 2 count, Day 3 letter and writing, each at 3 levels
• a Day 4 life-skill sequencing page
• a Day 5 book craft
• fine motor pages and core-word pages
• a "Who Did What This Week" data page, a family letter, a credits page
• ink-saver twins of the picture-based student pages, for a photocopier

Every cutting page carries 5 or more pieces, lined up edge to edge so each cut is one straight line. Each file is downloaded and used on its own, one week at a time.

Read-Alouds

Each book companion names its own read-aloud on the book page. Nothing from any book is reproduced in these files, and you need your own copy of each book. Not affiliated with any author or publisher.

Who This Is For

Teachers running a self-contained preschool, early childhood or primary special education classroom, PreK through 2nd grade, who want circle time ready to pull and go, one book and one simple activity a day.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

Print-and-go book companions. They are not a claim about any student's age, diagnosis, or rate of progress.
