A LITTLE LEARNING, SHARED TOGETHER
A flexible starting plan with five existing lessons and coloring pages. Read, listen, count, match and make patterns together with a grown-up.
These are five suggested visits, not a deadline or a test. Begin with one lesson page or round. Pause, replay or repeat a day whenever helpful; there is no need to finish everything in one sitting.
Have the five book pages ready: 5, 10, 6, 2 and 7. Add crayons or pencils and a flat place to work. Open each PDF link, then choose that page number in the print dialog. The link does not select the printer’s page range.
This mixed-area plan uses approved activities; it does not replace the English phonics teaching sequence. Keep the words and sounds from the chosen English lesson.
Lizard’s Quiet Corner
Learning focus: Notice a calm place and a way to ask for a pause.
Color a quiet spot around Lizard. Point to where you would choose to rest, or describe a quiet place nearby.
Direct scene matchA grown-up can ask
Where could Lizard take a quiet pause? You can point or show me.
Rhyme time
Learning focus: Listen for rhyming word endings.
After the lesson, say one of its approved rhyming pairs while you color together. Repeat the pair and listen to the endings.
A grown-up can ask
Which two words from the lesson have endings that sound alike? Let’s say them together.
Tap & count
Learning focus: Count one object at a time.
Touch each of the three large leaves on the mat once. Say one number for each touch, then say how many there are altogether.
A grown-up can ask
How many leaves are there altogether after we touch each one?
Teddy’s Shape Basket
Learning focus: Notice and match familiar shapes.
Point to the circle, triangle and square in Teddy's picture. Take turns naming or describing one shape for the other person to find.
Direct scene matchA grown-up can ask
Can you describe a shape for me to find? You can point instead.
Butterfly’s pattern path
Learning focus: Continue a repeating color pattern.
Choose two colors and use them in turn along the path's stepping stones. Point and say the repeat together.
Direct scene matchA grown-up can ask
Which color comes next in the pattern we chose?
