Elementary Literacy Read Aloud Book Lists

At Success Academy, Read Aloud is a key part of literacy instruction, helping scholars develop critical thinking and a love for reading. By engaging with rich, sophisticated books beyond their independent reading level, scholars strengthen comprehension and discussion skills.

How It Works

• Introduce the Book (1 min): Build excitement and provide key background knowledge.
• Read the Book (14–20 mins): Pause to model thinking, ask questions, and encourage discussion.
• Class Discussion (15–20 mins): Scholars engage in thoughtful debates, building towards leading discussions independently.
