"This Little Chick" by John Lawrence Read Aloud

A little chick enjoys his day playing, swimming, lazing, hopping, skipping, and talking with all the animals on the farm. Published by Simon & Schuster. Talking Tips: Many children learn the names of farm animals from books. Teach your child the names of different animals by looking at books together. Knowing the sounds that animals make helps children develop their phonological awareness. Be silly when you make animal sounds with your baby! It will teach them that reading is fun. The animals in this book do lots of activities. Action words like “skipping,” “hopping,” and “lazing” are new for your baby and can best be taught by acting them out. When you move with your baby, tell them what you are doing. Vocabulary to practice: skip, hop, laze Activity to try at home! Sing "Old Macdonald" with your baby! How many animals can you name? Clap your hands as you sing. #TandemStorytime #BooksBringUsTogether www.tandembayarea.org
