Résumé

Read-aloud discussions are highly recommended for classroom literacy practice and for stimulating classroom discussion. In this lesson plan, the practice of read-aloud discussions was explored with respect to its potential to teach kindergarten students about complex concepts such as community awareness. To address this research question, we conducted the read aloud with a book about community with four students. Students’ comments and reflective drawings were then utilized to assess the effectiveness of the activity. Overall, we determined through this lesson plan that complex topics can be explored through read alouds and that learning does not have to be a linear process.
