A map key and compass rose

1. Look at a map with a key and a compass rose. Find north, south, east and west.
2. Draw a map of your room with a key and a compass rose.

Read-aloud: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

1. Read “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
3. On the read-along you can show the pages on a big screen, or let it read the words aloud while each one lights up.
