Print Awareness means noticing print, knowing how to handle a book and knowing how to follow the words on a page. Some great ways to practice this skill with your child include letting your child hold the book and showing them which way to turn the page, using your finger to follow along with the text on the page, and pointing out words and letters on signs when you are out and about. Books we used this week that highlight the use of text are Monkey and Me, where the shape of the text mimics the animals' movements, and Mimi's Book of Opposites, which capitalizes all of the opposite words. If you are worried that your child is too young to use books without tearing the pages, try using cloth or board books that are more durable. Don't forget that the library has books that are sturdy enough for all ages!
Our Rhymes:
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Five Little Monkeys Swinging in a Tree
Five little monkeys swinging in a tree,
Teasing Mr.Crocodile, "Can't catch me!"
Along comes crocodile quiet as can be,
And he snatches a monkey right out of that tree.
Monkey See, Monkey Do (Version 1)

Monkey clap, clap, claps his hands.
