Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
Here is the link to the story Brown Bear written by Bill Martin Jr, the story has lots of repetition and colorful illustrations! On each page, we meet a new animal who helps us discover which creature will show up next.\u00a0 “Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see?\u00a0 I see a redbird looking at me…”.\u00a0 This pattern is repeated over and over, until the pre-reader can join in with the reader, easily predicting the next lines.\u00a0 Giggles and raised eyebrows will accompany the story as the animals become stranger and stranger (a purple cat!?). Singing Hands have created a video of themselves reading the story and use Makaton signs to support children learning basic sign language to communicate, at Woodhill ELC we have been learning basic Makaton since December to ensure we are offering an inclusive service to all learners. Can your child repeat any of these signs?<\/p>\n
