Each week, I will be reading a different book from Anna Kopp's Unofficial Minecraft book series written specifically for early readers. This highly interactive read aloud is complete with engaging discussion, early Language Arts skills, and plenty of Minecraft tips and tricks! Reading skills and learner copy of the books are not needed. Nonverbal participation is welcome. All printable activity pages that I have created as well as the learner Minecraft build challenges are optional. A love for Minecraft is all that is needed. 🙂 

Please bring your Minecraft knowledge and learner choice of items such as coloring/art/craft, building blocks/bricks or sculpting dough supplies, or Minecraft build to show if desired. I will also have optional, printable documents available each week. Learners will be actively involved in sharing their Minecraft experiences related to each story, including critical thinking and problem solving if they wish. We will connect the book topic to early elementary library media, Language Arts, and STEAM skills, including parts of a book, story elements, predictions, sequence of events, characters, setting, character traits, Minecraft mining and item crafting, and creative expression as relevant for each book. Your learner will connect character traits in relation to their own. 

Learners will have the optional opportunity to create, color, decorate, or describe their Minecraft style creation. Learners can also describe their idea, create it in advance, during, or post an image or description after class time. Creations are completely optional.

Join any time. Classes do not need to be taken in order. Reading skills and learner copy of the books are not needed.
