The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a timeless classic of children's literature that your family will treasure. Our Read-Aloud Poster celebrates this magical story with: a story board to trace the movements of the characters through Narnia vocabulary activities that highlight the beauty of Lewis' language character portraits and mapping all integrated into a “working” wardrobe constructed out of two poster sheets. (Don’t worry, it’s a simple fold-and-glue bit of magic.) The outside of the wardrobe door is filled with language activities, while inside the door is, well....Narnia, in the form of a story board. You’ll draw details from the story as you listen, and retell the story with character markers that you create. We've also included Read-Aloud Poster favorites: discussion questions, reader evaluations, and a chapter tracker! We think this book works best as a read-aloud for elementary-age kids, but you know your family best! Get all the details about this exciting poster in our spotlight blog post, here.
