LIRA’s Library Interactive Read Aloud Curriculum offers dynamic and engaging library lesson plans tailored for students in grades K-5. Each instructional resource centers around a read-aloud. Each lesson begins with a question that instantly captures student interest. After the read-aloud, students join in discussions aimed at building their critical thinking abilities. The learning process ends with an inquiry activity, allowing students to build and apply their knowledge.
The LIRA library curriculum embraces key aspects of traditional library instruction, such as book discovery, exploration, and creative making. This makes the planning process easier and sparks students’ curiosity. Each LIRA lesson plan is carefully crafted with defined learning outcomes, teacher materials, a step-by-step procedure, key observations, handouts, and alignment with AASL Standards.
