Read aloud list + sign-up sheet

You became a literacy coach to make an impact. This is where that starts 💛

The Read Aloud List + Sign-Up Sheet is a simple, powerful tool for literacy and instructional coaches who want to build genuine relationships with teachers and students throughout the year.

Here's the idea: Teachers sign up for a 30-minute read-aloud slot. You come in, you lead an engaging read-aloud lesson and activity with their students, and you give their teacher a few minutes to breathe during one of the busiest seasons of the year.

What's inside:

✔️ A curated read aloud book list featuring titles focused on identity, classroom community, and first-week jitters, plus books for anytime of year and end-of-year celebrations

✔️ A printable AND editable digital sign-up sheet ready to send to teachers immediately

Perfect for coaches who want to:

• Build relationships with teachers and students from the very first week

• Get to know students and school culture firsthand

• Give teachers a well-deserved break during the back-to-school season

• Step into classrooms in a low-pressure, high-impact way

Whether you're brand new to coaching or a seasoned pro looking for a fresh way to connect, this resource makes showing up feel easy, meaningful, and fun.

⭐ This resource is also included in the Literacy Coaching Hub, a growing library of coaching tools and resources for literacy coaches who are ready to thrive in their role. Here you'll also find several read aloud lesson plans to start using in classrooms!
