Question for the Week:
What is darkness?

Can't You Sleep Little Bear? by Martin Waddell

The YouTube Link to the weekly Read-Aloud is located:HERE

Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:


  • Why do you think Big Bear wanted Little Bear to go to sleep?

Thursday: 

Read a Book. Read and re-read your child’s favorite books in any language your family speaks. If you do not have any books, you can create books together by writing down the words to stories you created together and working together to add illustrations.

Open ended questions:

  • Tell me about this book. What do you like about it? 
  • What is your favorite part of this book? Why? 
  • What do you notice? 
  • What do you think is happening? 
  • What will happen next?
  •  Does that remind you of anything? 
  • Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
