★ Teacher Guide

This interactive read aloud for Love includes a teacher’s guide that outlines the visualizing questions lesson. It provides an introduction to help prepare your students for their learning and set a purpose for the read aloud. It also includes important vocabulary words and the strands that the lesson covers.

★ Anchor Chart

The visualizing anchor chart is a great reference for students.  The chart can be printed as is or it can be an interactive anchor chart that you create with your students while reading the book.

★ Talking Points

There are higher level thinking questions and talking points to prompt student discussion. Each one has a page number so that you know exactly where in the story to stop!

These will guide students to deepen their understanding on how to visualize and to respond in meaningful ways. These questions can be printed out on a one page guide or on sticky notes, which will allow you to place them right in the book!

★ Student Response

This lesson also comes with a written response and a visualizing graphic organizer to really help your students connect with the text and build their knowledge on the reading strategy. There are multiple response sheets that allow for differentiation. An answer key is also provided for your reference.

★ Craftivity

The Love Valentine’s Day craft provides a hands-on, engaging component to help students practice the visualizing strategy. It helps connect the focus to the picture book and to students’ reading.

★ Task Cards

The task cards can be used a few different ways. The cards could be used orally as a whole class discussion or in small groups. Students could also respond to the task cards individually on the recording sheet that is included.

The task cards provide scenarios or thought-provoking questions to help students apply the reading skill.

Your students will love learning about visualizing with the book, Love!

Keep your teaching colorful,
