Our January free Book-of-the-Month, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, tells the story of a cheery cat as he works through losing his buttons, using his catchphrase, “Did Pete cry? Goodness no.” As the book progresses, young learners are encouraged to use their math skills to determine how many buttons remain. Pete’s experiences tie in well with the “Core 4” skill of counting and measuring, which is important for Kindergarten readiness.
Our free quarterly Play Kits and weekly text messages also correlate with a Core 4 skill: Counting and Measuring, Talking and Reading, Connecting and Feeling and Solving Problems.
