This is a plan for a read-aloud of the book “Thunderstorms,” by Chana Stiefel. It provides questioning support, activities, and a culminating task to help students understand what thunderstorms are, what causes them, what happens during them, and how to predict them. It can be paired with “Thunder Cake,” by Patricia Polacco, and the plan gives guidance for how to use the two books together.
