Who Is Driving? by Leo Timmers

Introduction Aside: Today I’ll be pointing out some activities we are doing that support ealry literacy in the area of vocabulary. This is the term that researchers give to knowing the names of things. You can see what we do here in storytime and you may get some ideas of what you can do with your children throughout the day.
After reading the book Who Is Driving?: As you can see, I don’t just read the book. We talk about the pictures and ask questions. Allow time for your child to say something back.
Closing Aside:  Our youngest children learn words that name things they can see (pig, tractor, hippopotamus). As children get older they understand words for feelings and concepts, and older still, they understand words for ideas.
