For parents, caregivers & teachers
You don't need a perfect lesson plan to explore together.
A question, a picture, or a favorite song is a place to start.
Gather five large toys or blocks. Point to each one once and say one number for each object. Then ask, “How many altogether?”
Try a different arrangement and count again. Follow your child's pace.
Pair with our first bookChoose a video together. Pause before an answer or a discovery, and ask, “What do you notice?” or “What do you think might happen?”
Leave time for a response. A word, a gesture, a home-language answer, or a point to the screen all count.
Find an adventureLook at a picture before reading the words. Take turns noticing something small. Read a favorite page again, and help with unfamiliar words.
Let your explorer tell part of the story in their own way. Shared attention matters more than getting to the end.
Look inside the storyEvery explorer is different
