Making connections to students' lives while addressing content standards within the constraints of the school day is one of elementary school teachers' greatest challenges. One way to address these challenges is to use an instructional routine such as a shared story reading. A shared story reading can support teachers' instruction across content areas, create connections to students' experiences, promote students' social-emotional learning, and maximize instructional time. Teachers can use shared story reading with interdisciplinary lessons to simultaneously advance students' mathematics, literacy, and social-emotional competencies. In this article, the authors use the book, "Two of Everything," to illustrate how this routine can be used in K-2 classrooms.
