READING
I Hear a Pickle by Rachel Isadora:
This short story is a fun way to talk about our senses! Practice talking about what you sense in your environment at home. What do you hear when you are reading together? What do you see? You can also work on talking about body parts that are associated with each sense.
My Five Senses by Aliki:
This book is a great introduction to our five senses. While reading this book together, try talking about things you like and don't like. Talk about different tastes and compare and contrast (e.g. "Lemons are sour, ice cream is sweet!"). You can talk about your favorite colors that you see, favorite foods, etc. Although we all use our senses, we experience these senses differently. This gives us an opportunity to think about others' preferences, as well as our own!
