“One Sun: A Book of Terse Verse” by Bruce McMillan

 

Come along as we read rhyming pairs that describe images from the beach! “One Sun: A Book of Terse Verse” by Bruce McMillan is a great way to introduce some concepts that will help your young child build critical skills for their reading journey. First, the text invites children to hear examples of rhyming pairs and possibly repeating the rhyme. Also, pointing to the large words when reading helps demonstrate the idea that when those curved and straight squiggles on the page are grouped together, they make a word that can be read. Finally, revisiting this book over and over encourages your child to do the reading, boosting their confidence as they take on the reader role. After a viewing, try muting the video and seeing which pairs your child remembers!
