About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is ready to move beyond one-to-one counting and needs a clear, visual introduction to more complex math concepts. '2, 4, Skip Count Some More' uses bright, simple photographs of everyday objects like shoes, fingers, and toes to make the abstract idea of skip counting tangible and fun. The book fosters a sense of curiosity and joy in discovering mathematical patterns in the world around them. It is perfectly suited for children who are visual learners and is an excellent, pressure-free way to reinforce concepts like grouping and the foundations of multiplication.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This is a secular, instructional text with no sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 5 to 7-year-old who is a visual or kinesthetic learner. This child might be getting introduced to multiplication concepts in pre-K or kindergarten and would benefit from seeing abstract numbers represented by concrete, real-world objects. It's also perfect for a child who feels intimidated by worksheets but loves finding patterns.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-explanatory and can be read cold. For enrichment, a parent could gather some small items like pennies, blocks, or buttons to practice counting with after the book is finished, extending the learning from the page into the child's environment. A parent has noticed their child painstakingly counting every single sock in the laundry pile one by one. Or, a teacher mentions in a conference that the class is beginning to work on grouping and counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, and the parent is looking for a way to support that learning at home.
