Hide-and-Seek: A First Book of Position Words
Hide-and-Seek: A First Book of Position Words
This cute story involves a group of three friends, Fox, Bear, and Owl, playing a game of hide-and-seek in a forested playground. Within each turn, readers are exposed to a positional word within the context of the game, for example, “Fox looks INSIDE the castle. Fox finds Bear!”.
As well as introducing young children to position words and using them in realistic contexts; there is also support of early counting to 10 as the characters count in their turn as ‘it’. There is also a social emotional component included as the animal characters give each other hugs when the other is found, and in loving support of Bear when he can’t seem to locate his friends.
Accompanied by crisp and beautiful images, Hide-and-Seek: A First Book of Position Words supports a variety of early learning concepts and can be used in a daycare or early learning classroom for a myriad of lessons as well as being taken up by eager young readers.
