Watch the video above all the way through.

What do you see?

Play it again. You could pause it while you're watching, if you like. And you might like to watch it again more than once.

Describe what you notice.
Each time the counters are moved, what is the same? What is different?

Imagine you are making a similar video but with twelve counters.
What would it look like?

We would love to see your ideas - you could make a video, or you could take photos, or you could draw pictures, or...

One Mole Digging a Hole by Julia Donaldson and Nick Sharratt has lots of funny rhyming with garden animals. Six parrots pullling up carrots? Eight crows with a garden hose?! This story can be used to focus on numbers 1 to 10 and animals. Children can also focus on garden vocabulary and rhyming. This story would also tie in well as part of a unit on houses and where we live. See reviews and purchase options or watch the storytelling videos.

Shape Patterns is a sequencing game where you need to complete the pattern of different coloured 2D shapes. It is a multiple choice game with three levels of difficulty. It is excellent for shape recognition and for problem solving.

In the easier levels you need to continue the pattern, but in the more challenging level 3, you are presented with a sequence with the missing element in different positions. This level in particular, is an excellent problem solving activity.

As with all of our games, Shape Patterns works well on an interactive whiteboard.

Learning to read with phonics

If you live in England, your child will learn to read using phonics. Their school is very likely to use either the Letters and Sounds phonics framework or the Read Write Inc. programme. Check with your school if you're not sure which one they use.

Using Letters and Sounds?

If your child is using Letters and Sounds, you can find this list of eBooks by Letters and Sounds Phases useful. Bear in mind the following:

If you don't know your child's Phase, you can check with your school. As a guide, most Reception children will be on Phases 1-4 and most Year 1 children will be on Phases 4-5. Beyond Phase 5, your child will be able to decode most books.

In Letters and Sounds, there are 'sets' within the Phases - so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase.

Some series contain occasional 'tricky words' that your child can't decode using phonics. Use the inside front cover notes to teach your child these words before they start the book.

Find out more about Letters and Sounds >

Using Read Write Inc. Phonics?
If your child is being taught to read using the Read Write Inc. programme, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Read Write Inc.' filter to select the right level.

Find more support and resources for Read Write Inc. in our parents' guide to Read Write Inc. >
