I LOVE to use emergent readers in my classroom to celebrate holidays! With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to have a fun and seasonal story to read that also incorporated sight words! This Valentine’s Day Counting Reader not only incorporates sight words, but MATH and counting too!
LET’S PREP!
To prep this reader, all you need to do is copy it and staple on the left side. Each page has TWO readers on it, which makes prep super easy!
LET’S READ!
This reader is perfect to use in either small groups or whole class. On each page of the reader, I had students count and color the hearts first. Then, we traced over the number word. This reader includes number words one through ten. Finally, we practiced reading the sentence together. The sentences follow the same pattern on each page in this book: “I have ________ hearts.”
The tracking dots on the page are great to help my kiddos learn to point to the words and follow along as they read! I use tracking dots in all of my emergent readers. Check out the rest of my Valentine’s Readers here!
REPEATED READINGS!
These counting readers are great for repeated readings! Kiddos can practice reading with a partner or even put them in a book box to read again during independent time. They are also great to send home for students to read with parents.
