Fall Books for Kids

FALL READ ALOUD BOOKS FOR KIDS

Here is a list of my favorite read alouds and activities for fall in Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade!

WE'RE GOING ON A LEAF HUNT

This book is great for story mapping! The characters head to different places to collect leaves...only to turn quickly around and head back again. What makes them run back home? Read the book to find out!

LITTLE BOO

Little Boo tries his best to scare everyone, but it's not working! He needs to be patient...when he's bigger and is a jack-o-lantern he will finally be scary. SO cute :)

ROOM ON THE BROOM

The flying witch keeps picking up more riders on her broom! This book has rhyming sentences, providing a little extra practice with phonemic awareness.

WHEN THE LEAF BLEW IN

When the Leaf Blew In is a GREAT book for teaching about cause & effect and story sequencing. A leaf blows into the barn, causing a funny chain of events!

THE LEAF THIEF

Squirrel is convinced that someone is stealing his leaves. Bird has to share with squirrel that in the fall leaves get blown away by the wind. A fun autumn read aloud!

APPLE TROUBLE

Poor Hedgehog has Apple Trouble when an apple falls from the tree and gets stuck in his prickles. His friends try to help him out, but only seem to make matters worse. A fun fall read aloud!

STELLALUNA

For some reason fall means learning about bats! This book is great at teaching kids about what bats are like, their habits, what they eat, etc. It also compares bats to birds! 

SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN

This book is about Spookley, a square pumpkin. It's a great story for teaching kids about being 'different'.
