I Can Sing from 1 to 10

I Can Sing from 1 to 10 is a fun and easy way for very young children to learn to recognize numbers and their names, using engaging stories, visuals and song. Background: Years ago I taught a dozen preschoolers who were all between 18 months and 5 years old. To help them learn to identify numbers, I created this song, along with some simple black and white illustrations. We sang and did the body motions on a daily basis, and happily, the 3- to 5-year olds learned number names very quickly. One day the toddlers (18 months old) played by the wall where the illustrations for this song were displayed, and they pointed to the them, chattering in their baby talk language. I began to ask each of them in turn if they could find numbers I called by name and was astonished to find that while they couldn’t say number names, they could point to the digits I asked them to find. I love so much that the babies could effortlessly absorb something “schoolish” just from hearing the older children singing as they played nearby. Today, we're excited to share the same song with you, along with a colorful illustration and body motion for each number 1-10. 24 pages. 8" x 10".

SnapWords Days, Months and Seasons Pocket Chart Cards

SnapWords™ Cards are essentials for teaching sight word recognition to a wide variety of learners, including visual learners, children labeled with ADD or ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or right brained learners. The images embedded into each word ensure that children gain a rich sight word vocabulary as easily as a camera snapping a picture and storing it in memory. But that’s not all. Beyond just recognizing the words, the tools on the reverse of each card move children past calling out words to really understanding what they mean and how to use them in sentences. The reverse of each card displays the word without a visual and describes a hand motion for the word – a necessary tool for many kinesthetic learners and children with dyslexia. In addition, a sentence using the word and coordinating with the visual on the front of the card focuses children’s attention on the meaning of the word and how it is used in everyday communication. Use the SnapWords™ Pocket Chart Cards in centers, for partner review, sentence building or independent practice; the number of ways to use these smaller SnapWords™ is only limited by your imagination and your students’ needs. Also effective in pocket charts for sentence-building, sentence or phrase unscramble, or review (students turn the cards to the reverse side as they learn the words through the visuals on the fronts). For children who need to understand the function of words before they can focus on learning phonics rules, these cards provide the answer. This set of SnapWords™ cards contains the days of the week, months of the year, and seasons. Words included: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, month, week, year, spring, summer, fall, winter.
