Welcome and Bifocal Resources!

Hello! SCDSB Read Aloud is sure that you and your students will be excited to use Bifocal by Eric Walters and Deborah Ellis in your Literacy program this spring!

The best part of SCDSB Read Aloud is that you can use as much, or as little, of the resources as you want to help integrate the chosen novel into your literacy program. You can choose to simply read the novel with your students, have in-depth discussions about the issues within, or cover a number of curriculum expectations by using the specially-created unit plan and literacy centers.
