Literacy Snack Courage Read Aloud

August 8, 2018

Grab the FREE printable and see the snack idea to use with Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun. It's a fun Literacy Snack Courage Read Aloud for back to school!

It’s back to school time and I’m excited to start sharing my weekly literacy snacks with you again! This week’s Literacy Snack Courage Read Aloud is a book all about having the courage to be who you are. We are reading, Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun, by Maria Dismondy.

“How can Ralph be so mean? Lucy is one of a kind and Ralph loves to point that out. Lucy’s defining moment comes when Ralph truly needs help. Because she knows what she stands for, Lucy has the courage to make a good choice. This charming story empowers children to always do the right thing and be proud of themselves, even when they are faced with a sticky situation.”

In the book, Lucy is a little “different” and one of those things that makes her different is her favorite sandwich. It’s spaghetti in a hot dog bun which is what we’ll be making for our literacy snack this week!
