Kids Chapter Check-Ins
Kids Chapter Check-In is a podcast designed to support readers in grades 3-6 as they pause, think, and talk about the books they're reading.
This is not a read-aloud. Readers should read the chapters on their own, then tune in for a guided check-in that builds vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and speaking and listening skills in a calm, approachable way.
Each episode focuses on a portion of a popular chapter book and walks readers through thoughtful discussions and writing opportunities. The goal is for each episode to feel like a kid friendly book club--not an overwhelming lesson.
New episodes are released weekly, with occasional Choose Your Own Choice Check-Ins that work with any chapter book.
Created by an elementary teacher with over a decade of classroom experience, Kids Chapter Check-In is perfect for:
-home reading
-summer reading
-classrooms
-independent listening
Optional companion packs are available on Etsy and Teachers Pay Teachers for families and educators who are looking for more structure and support.
