Ready To Count to 100? 5 Books To Make It Fun!
It's as plain as the ears on a mule: thanks to the new Common Core State Standards, kindergartners will be expected to count to 100--by ones and by tens.
If your child has mastered counting from 1 to 10, have fun getting to 100 with these five books.
1. Emily’s First 100 Days of School, by Rosemary Wells
2. Chicka Chicka 123, by Bill Martin Jr, Michael Sampson, and Lois Ehlert
3. 365 Penguins, by Jean-Luc Fromenthal
4. Let’s Count to 100, by Masayuki Sebe
5. Curious George Learns to Count from 1 to 100, by H.A. Rey
Don't forget to practice in the real world. Let your child create stacks of ten pennies or groups of ten Cheerios to visualize the idea of counting by tens.
