Read alouds are an excellent way to begin a lesson or to initiate conversations with students about topics that may be tricky to talk about as a group. Read alouds show students that these issues and feelings are so common that someone actually wrote a book about them. They don't have to be afraid to share how they feel!
After reading Stuck by Oliver Jeffers or another book, students can illustrate potential solutions to the problem posed in the story.

Thanks dad!
One way that Floyd could solve the problem of his kite being stuck in the tree would be to ask his mom or dad for help. They probably would've decided to use a ladder to get the kite down from the tree in a safe manner.
