Little Red Hen

As you read the book, run your finger under the title, Little Red Hen. As your read the repeated phrases, “ “Not I” said the dog; “Not I” said the cat; “Not I” said the mouse, run your finger under those words as you say them.

Adult Aside: Running your finger under some of the words helps your child understand that it is the words you are reading, not the pictures. Researchers have found that even for four year olds, 95% of their attention is on the pictures. By pointing you help draw their attention to the text. This helps develop print awareness.
