ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Awnie's House ???? Kids Book Read Aloud: GROW UP, DAVID! by David Shannon
Hi there! It’s Ani, and today we’re going to read a fun story about a boy named David and his big brother. Do you have a brother or sister? Let’s see what adventures David has with his brother in the book “Grow Up, David” by David Shannon. If you have the book, you can read along with me!
David has a big brother, and sometimes big brothers can be a little bossy. David’s brother often says, “No, David! You’re too little! Oh, stop following me!” Do you ever hear that from your siblings?
David likes to have fun, and sometimes he gets into a bit of trouble. His brother says things like, “Ha-ha, very funny, David,” and “David did it!” Have you ever done something funny that made your brother or sister laugh?
Sometimes, David and his brother argue over toys and games. His brother might say, “Give it back, David!” or “Oh, make me!” But even when they argue, they still care about each other. Do you like to play with your siblings?
Even though David and his brother don’t always get along, they really do love each other. When David gets hurt, his brother asks, “David, are you okay?” And when David does something good, his brother says, “Nice catch, Dave!”
That’s the end of our story today! Remember, even if you and your siblings argue sometimes, you still love each other deep down. I hope you enjoyed reading with me. See you next time for another fun story!
Sibling Role Play: Pair up with a friend or a classmate and pretend to be David and his big brother. Take turns being the big brother and David. Act out different scenarios from the story, like playing with toys or having a funny moment. Think about how you can show care and kindness to each other, just like David and his brother do in the end.
Draw Your Sibling Adventure: Draw a picture of a fun adventure you would like to have with your sibling or a friend. It could be playing a game, going to the park, or any activity you enjoy. Share your drawing with the class and explain why this adventure would be special for you and your sibling or friend.
Observation Walk: Take a walk around your home or school and observe how siblings or friends interact with each other. Can you spot moments where they are sharing, helping, or playing together? Talk about what you saw and how it relates to David and his brother’s relationship in the story.
