I would not assume that the 3rd-5th graders will no longer want to have stories read to them. I am librarian at the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor, and our 3rd-5th graders are still VERY enthusiastic about listening to and discussing books that I read aloud. I share with them lots of picture books and chapter books - historical fiction, folktales, midrashim, holiday tales and more. There are many enriching and thought-provoking choices for this age group! The students love to discuss predictions, debate characters' actions, and explore lessons that can be learned. When we do other types of activities, they often ask when they'll get to hear more books, so I try to balance their desire to enjoy literature (and my desire to discuss it with them) with my need to engage them
in a variety of library tasks. Perhaps your upper elementary students will be enthusiastic about listening to literature as well!

Subject: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?
I would like to expand our small Religious School library program to our 3-5 grade class (yes, all in the same small class) this year. I already meet for a short time with each of the younger classes – about 15 minutes each Sunday – and
am planning to add a session with the older children. Since this age means moving beyond my reading stories aloud to them, I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for activities, books that might work for discussion, or other ideas for what I might do
with the kids. Their classes will be working with Year 5 of the CHAI curriculum.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!
Thanks –
