Farm Animals Counting
I love learning activities that are simple to prepare.
And this is one of those.
Previewing a book with little ones is essential to helping them succeed.
Before reading with your student, here are a few things you may want to review!
This book focuses on two sight words….I and see.
Before having your child read the book, review those words with them.
You could simply write them on a whiteboard and practice reading them.
Or write each word on two sticky notes.
Then play a matching game.
Every time your kiddo turns over a word, have them say it.
All you gotta do is open up the book, and point to each animal.
This would also be a great time to practiceone-to-one correspondenceand practice figuring out how many animals there are.
Number Words Activity
Last but not least you may want to introduce the numbers words.
I see …..this word tells me how many chickens I see….how many chickens are there?
Yes, there are five chickens, so when I get to this word I will say five.
I see five chickens.
Now it is time to jump in and let you kiddo read!
Hopefully will all the prep, they should be successful at working through the words.
If not, gently correct and model reading the sentence correctly pointing to each word!
