Every Child Ready to Read
From Every Child Ready to Read®, 2nd Edition
Adapted by Mary Fellows, Upper Hudson Library System
This handout is full of great tips to share with parents during storytime!
Feltboard: Five Little Birds
Five little birds flying around my door
The orange one flew away, and then there were four
Four little birds sitting in a tree
The purple one flew away, and then there were three
Three little birds didn't know what to do
The red one flew away, and then there were two
Two little birds sitting in the sun
The green one flew away, and then there was one
One little bird sitting all alone
She flew away, and then there were none
But later on that day.... (bring back all the birds)

Host puppet is Naughty Crow. He is always so fresh to the kids and tends to go after the shiny jewelry worn by moms in the group. I hope he is on his best behavior today. He will introduce the theme and will do the Owl Pokey with us and will help me do the feltboard as well. I won't make him do yoga today though ;)
Children who start kindergarten ready to learn to read have greater success throughout their school years. They are more likely to read at or above grade level by the end of 2nd grade. Children who read at or above grade level by the end of 4th grade are much more likely to graduate from high school and be successful readers and learners throughout their lives.

I've Got a Cold
I’ve got a cold (point to yourself)
My nose can’t smell (point to your nose)
My eyes are red (point to your eyes)
I don’t feel well (hand on forehead)
So I’ll drink my juice (pretend to drink)
And go to bed… (fold hands under head)
My nose feels better (point to nose)And so does my head! (point to head)
