After we learned the alphabet, we drew pictures for each letter. I published my very first book when I was five, in kindergarten. What an exciting time it is, turning FIVE! One of the best things about turning five is that you get to pick more of your OWN books! What a wonderful thing. This custom Raising Readers edition includes a letter printed in the front of the book specially for Maine 5 year old’s from Ashley Bryan:
Reading together can still be the very best part of the day for you and your child!Ĭlick here to see a full list of milestones for your 5-year-old as well as tips and activities for you and your child! Continuing to read to your child, even when they’re able to read, will give you both a chance to talk about more complicated books and continue the beautiful relationship you started together 5 years ago. Their comprehension of what’s going on in the more complex stories you are reading to them will help them understand the simple stories they can read themselves. By making these connections, your child can also start to write and decode some easy words and begin reading short books to you. Some combinations of letters are still tricky for children to hear but they’re learning all the time. Your child likely will learn all the letters and their sounds this year. Predicting what happens next in a story.Retelling a story in order, using words or pictures.Asking and answering who, what, where, when, why, and how questions about a story.Starting to recognize some words by sight without having to sound them out.Starting to match words they hear to words they see on the page.Saying new words by changing the beginning sound, like changing rat to sat.Identifying the beginning, middle, and ending sounds in spoken words like dog or sit.Matching each letter to the sound it represents.
Although Blackbird warns them that true beauty comes from within, the other birds persist and soon each is given a ring of black around their necks or a dot of black on their wings - markings that detail birds to this very day. The other birds, who were colored red, yellow, blue, and green, were so envious that they begged Blackbird to paint their feathers with a touch of black so they could be beautiful too. Long ago, Blackbird was voted the most beautiful bird in the forest.
