Thanks so much for joining me today! I’m thrilled to share that my KinderBookKlub program wrapped up in April so it is no longer a growing bundle! To celebrate the completion of the bundle I discounted the bundle to 75% OFF. I will also be hosting an Amazon gift card giveaway which would be perfect for snagging KinderBookKlub mentor texts!
KINDERBOOKKLUB Q & A
When asking teachers about KinderBookKlub they usually respond with one word… amazing! However, there are always a lot of questions about the KinderBookKlub so I thought this post could help to answer those! First off, a lot of teachers want to know WHAT IS THE KINDERBOOKKLUB? Well, that question will be answered directly below and all through this post! I’ll break down what you get in each unit below! The gist would be to think about opening a file each month to have EVERYTHING there and planned out for you! Read aloud, guided reading, centers, math lesson, science lesson, craft, assessment… YES! All of that and more… see amazing!
The next question teachers want to know if… KINDERBOOKLUB IS ALL NEW MATERIAL? That answer is Y-E-S! You can rest assure that you are getting all NEW material with the KinderBookKlub! All 10 books used in KinderBookKlub are exclusive to this program and are not found in my other curriculum programs (like KinderLiteracy).
The final question I get a lot is WHEN IN THE WORLD DO I HAVE TIME TO USE THIS AMAZING STUFF? Well, I guess it’s not a horrible problem to have but it can get stressful when have the itch to teach these amazing resources and you’re not sure where to squeeze them in! Let’s walk through a few scenarios! First up… you teach KinderLiteracy! If you teach KinderLiteracy, using KinderBookKlub will be completely seamless for you! The lessons and ‘flow’ is exactly the same! You will just need to find a place to plug in these themes! If you do not teach KinderLiteracy and are tied to a ‘big box’ curriculum then squeezing these in will be a little tricky but doable! A lot of times you won’t follow your big box curriculum pacing on short weeks or holiday weeks! These lessons would plug into those times perfectly! Another option for all would be to use these lessons as sub plans! They are completely scripted and everything is there (math, science, centers, etc).
What is the Monthly KinderBookKlub?
Thanks so much for showing interest in my monthly KinderBookKlub! The KinderBookKlub is designed with kindergarten teachers in mind. The KinderBookKlub offers a week of engaging and hands-on material. However, the material can easily be expanded over a longer academic period. The idea of the monthly KinderBookKlub is for one week of the month you can completely transform your teaching with FUN and engaging, yet still rigorous, lessons. The KinderBookKlub is completely comprehensive, so the only thing you’ll need to add in is the mentor text! Here is a quick breakdown of what you get:
What is included in each month of KinderBookKlub?

What makes the Monthly KinderBookKlub so unique?
You will quickly notice a similarity between KinderBookKlub and my other engaging packets like KinderLiteracy and Thematic Hands-On Centers! That similarity is part of the design! The idea is that you can easily slip in your once-a- month KinderBookKlub lessons, and the kiddos will not skip a beat in their learning. This similarity in design is also great because you will not have to reteach the procedures or concepts since it will already be familiar to the students. What are you waiting for? Join in the only ‘kool klub’ for kindergarten teachers…the monthly KinderBookKlub!
