Reading Tips

9

Here are some engaging ways to use this book to help children build important early math skills. 4 Create a sense of excitement by using a wet sponge to write the numeral 9 on a chalkboard. Can children guess what you’ve written before it disappears? 4 Invite each of the children to trace the numeral 9 in the air and to hold up nine fingers. 4 Display the book’s cover. Ask children to identify the numeral 9 in the top right corner. What do they see nine of? (nine pennies) Then ask kids to use picture clues to predict what might happen in the story. During Reading: 4 Read the story straight through with gusto. This will give kids an opportunity to enjoy its whimsical plot and rollicking rhyme. 4 Read the story a second time. Invite children to explore the illustrations and to locate and count the sets of nine. 4 Read the story a third time. Call attention to moments when the word nine appears in the text. If you like, encourage kids to clap nine times whenever they hear the word.

After Reading: 4 Display the “Can You Find?” picture on pages 14–15. Challenge children to locate and count the requested objects as well as other sets of nine (including nine lollipops and nine playing cards). 4 Read “Nine Cheer” on page 16 several times, encouraging children to chime in and enthusiastically perform the designated movements including nine claps, nine jumps, and nine stomps. 4 To reinforce number sense, give each of the children a set of manipulatives such as dried beans, snap beads, or plastic teddy bear counters. Challenge kids to organize them into groups of nine. For added fun, work together to make a “Nine Collage” in which you clip sets of nine items from magazines (such as pictures of nine pennies, nine oranges, nine trees), then affix them to posterboard and display.
