Camping Read Alouds for Kindergarten

This collection of camping read-alouds for kindergarten are sure to get your little ones excited about an upcoming campout or camping learning theme.

No matter your child’s age, read alouds should be an integral part of your days. Read-alouds are books that parents and teachers read aloud to children.

As the reader demonstrates differences in pitch and volume, kids can learn to incorporate these differences in their own reading. Readers can model how to pause at commas and pause a little longer at periods. They can model pace and volume as well as asking comprehension questions.

When I choose read-alouds, I prefer to choose a book that is a little challenging for my listener. The words and sentence structure are just above their reading level.

For kindergarteners, I choose books at a 2nd or 3rd grade level. The books tend to have shorter sentences and chapters. The vocabulary isn’t too challenging so kids aren’t left wondering what I’m talking about.

Isadora Moon Goes Camping – Camping is full of surprises when you’re a vampire-fairy! When Isadora Moon and her family go on a camping trip to the beach, they’re just like everybody else.

And when Isadora goes on a nighttime adventure, she makes an unusual friend under the sea. . . .

Camping Catastrophe! – Max, the biggest bully in first grade, just can’t believe that Freddy Thresher and his best friend, Robbie, are going on a camping trip this weekend. Worse yet, Freddy’s sister, Suzie, has bet him a full week’s worth of chores that he’ll be too much of a scaredy-cat to spend the whole night in the wild! And, even though Freddy is a little bit worried, he sure isn’t going to let Suzie win a bet that involves cleaning the basement!

 

Willa’s Wilderness Campout –  Willa can’t wait to be surrounded by nature, sleeping under the stars. Ashlyn has prepared a list of camping supplies to bring, but Willa feels sure all that gear won’t be needed. When they get to the campsite, the girls discover they are missing some things. They don’t even have marshmallows for toasting! Just when their campout looks like a catastrophe, their friendship saves the day.
