In this weekly class, I will read aloud a different picture book each week that will focus on building social skills, curiosity, and language development. Stories will also relate to seasons and holidays during those times of the year! After each reading, we will discuss what happened, working on our retelling skills and relating our point of view to the characters. Our schedule for each book is as follows:
