Each \bicture-\backed \bage is fun to read together, and a great way to hel\b children's language and literacy skills.Picture-and-word pagesMost of this book is made u\v\b of \bicture-and-word \bages filled with nouns, \blus some ve\vrbs and adjectives.\v These \bages hel\b b\vroaden your child’s vocabul\vary and knowledge.Story pagesThere are also five sim\ble stories to read that introduce more useful words, \but words into context, and hel\b sentence writing and story writing skills.How to help your child get the most out of this bookAll the \bages in this book offer lots of o\b\bortunities for talking and learning. Enjoy ex\bloring and talking about them together. Point out things your child li\vkes. For instance, you could say\v, “Look, there’s a tiger! Can you roar like a tiger?” or “Wh\vich fruit do you like?”Go at your child’s \b\vace. Let her take the lead and turn the \bages. Sto\b if she is tired, and return to the book another time. For children who are not yet readingPoint to the \bictures as you read the words and sentences to hel\b them identify things, and to show how the \bictures and words are connected.For children who are beginning to readAs they read, or as you read together, \boint to the words, or encourage them to \boint, to hel\b their letter and word recognition. Following the storiesPre-readers and beginner readers can follow the stories by running a finger along the dotted lines. This hel\b\vs their fine motor skills, too. “Can you find?\b games and sim\“ple questionsThere are “Can you find?” games and si\vm\ble questions on the \bicture-and-word \bages that encourage learning. Your child may need hel\b with these, or he may lik\ve you to join in and answer with him.Most im\bortantly, follow your child’s interests, talk about things you know he enjoys, give lots of \braise as he answers the questions, and have fun\v!

Many are not nouns, verbs, or adjectives\,, but they are useful words such as “the,” “and,” “it,” “I,” and so on.When children begin to read at school, they learn high-frequency words because these words will help them ma\be sense of a sentence. Since quite a few can’t be sounded ou\,t, children practice learning them by sight.This boo\b contains some high-frequency words, particularly in the question text and story pages. A list of Fr y’s first 100 high- frequency words is below. The 100 words are in frequency order.the ofand ato in isyouthat ithewas foronare aswith histhey Iatbethishave from oronehad bywords butnotwhat allwere wewhen yourcansaidthere useaneachwhich she dohowtheir if willupother about outmany thenthemthese sosome herwould make likehimintotime haslook twomore write gosee numbernowaycould people mythan firstwater beencalled who amitsnow findlongdown daydidgetcomemade maypartUS_006-007_Note_to_parents_contents.indd 716/07/2018 11:568Me and my bodyWhat color are your eyes?Is your hair long or short?My sensesTaking care of myselffingers thumbfoot legtoesbottombackchest mouthteethnosearmneckeyeear faceheadsoap tissues(for blowing my nose !) shampoosunblock toothbrushhairbrush handshairhee!US_008-009_Me_and_my_Body.indd 811/04/2018 15:459Things I do My sensestouching seeinghearingtasting smellinglistensit walklaugh standjumpbalance stompbend rolltalkdance clapwavestretchhee!hee!chatter!chatter!
