Chicka Chicka 1-2-3

Today we read, "Chicka Chicka 1 2 3" by Bill Martin Jr. It was a lot like "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" except this time instead of a coconut tree we had an apple tree, and instead of letters, we had numbers. This is what Haleigh like about it:

"I liked how the 70 had long, yellow hair."

Ten Little Fish

Today we read "Ten Little Fish" by Audrey and Bruce Wood. It is a counting to 10 book. Gauge said, "I liked it when they got lost and then they had 10 baby fish."

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

We read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. It is a fun story about letters that climb up a coconut tree. The tree gets too full of letters and "Boom Boom!" They all fall down! Here is what Cheyenne says about it:

"I kind of like it when they say "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" because it was kind of funny.

How To Help Your Child Read Their Nightly Little Books

This video is a wonderful example of the kind of help you can give to your child when you read the little books each night. This is similar to the same technique I do with the children during guided reading, as well. Enjoy!
