Why You Should be Using the Picture Book Digital Choice Boards for January

Have you tried using choice boards with your students yet when doing interactive read alouds? If you aren’t sure what an interactive read aloud is, I discuss it in great detail in this blog post.

Teachers and students are loving these, especially in digital versions for distance learning for the 2020-2021 school year. I absolutely love using Google Slides whenever I can to create digital products for students to use.  

This Picture Book Digital Choice Boards January BUNDLE is perfect to help accompany all of your January read alouds!

The Picture Book Digital Choice Boards January BUNDLE is great for ages K-2 to accompany 4 different read aloud stories (Affiliate links below):

Sneezy the Snowman
Snowzilla
Snowmen at Work
The Three Snow Bears

Due to copywriting issues, I could not read the stories aloud and include them in the product. So you can purchase the books yourself and read aloud in person or make a loom video or live stream version of your reading if you are teaching virtually. You could also check on Youtube or with your library for free versions of these books. 

What it Includes:

The Picture Book Digital Choice Boards January BUNDLE  includes a preloaded SeeSaw link to each choice board. This is a bundle of four picture book digital choice boards. Each digital choice board provides six different engaging and interactive activities to go along with the book. Therefore, your read aloud block is planned for the entire month! You could also use these activities as centers, independent work, morning work, or homework to accompany each story.
