There are many ways to make wish. How will you do it? Find out with some of these books we read. Or perhaps you can make your own wish come true.
Early Literacy Tip and Activity:
Tip
Learning to subtract and add can be fun if you use a book with base ten as a counting activity. Help your child to see the different combination sets on their fingers all equal ten.
Activity
Read “Ten Magic Butterflies” or another counting book while using your fingers to make addition combinations. Then go on a “counting walk” and see how many addition combinations you can find that equal ten.
