It might seem too early to think about that day full of sugar-comas, glitter everywhere, Valentine tattoos stuck to kiddos' foreheads as they rip candy off of little folded cards....but....it's coming. I will be the first to admit- I. love. it. all. There is NOTHING like being a teacher on holidays- Christmas, Valentine's Day, my gosh, even Groundhog's Day was pretty thrilling for my kiddos!
I want to share with you some {FREE} Valentine's Day Reading Response Printables! I love holiday/seasonal read alouds! I created some quick reading response pages that you can use with your favorite Valentine's Day books in the next few weeks. The printables focus on fictional literature skills: story sequence, story elements and character traits. Click {HERE} to grab them!
I also included an open ended writing page that students can use to write a Valentine letter or note.
If you are looking to add to your Valentine's Day read alouds, make sure you check out some of my favorites! So many good ones and these work great with the free printables I made! I'd love for you to comment on this post with your favorite Valentine's Day book so we all can find more to love!

I love the reading responses! My favorite book is probably Arthur's Valentine. I have read it every year since I started teaching! The kids love it!
